A video of two police officers attached to the Rapid
Response Squad (RRS) being assaulted by a man who was stopped for driving
against traffic has appeared on social media.
The less than three-minute footage showed the driver of a
white car assaulting the two armed police officers.
In the video, another man who had accompanied the driver
inside the car was heard shouting that they were stopped because they passed
one-way traffic, wondering if the offense is enough for the police officers to
stop their car.
The driver wearing a black shirt and a pair of short jeans was seen pushing one of the police officers at the scene by his chest while attempting to shove him on the ground.
Despite the efforts of passers-by to restrain the driver
from assaulting the policeman, he kept pushing one of the police officers by
his chest, boasting that there is nothing that would happen.
Surprisingly, the said police officer who was holding a
rifle kept his cool, despite the confrontation of the driver.
The level of professionalism exhibited by the two police
officers captured in the video in handling the situation is not something
common with police officers in the country.
SEE VIDEO:
They drove against traffic, the police stopped them.

Reacting to the video, Jubril Gawat, a senior special
assistant to the Lagos state governor on new media, said the driver has been
arrested and currently at the state criminal investigation department, Panti.
Gawat noted that the driver’s car would be forfeited because he contravened the state traffic laws while urging residents to obey traffic rules.
UPDATE: The RRS Officers kept their cool as the guy kept pushing the officers, the guy is chilling in the State CID, Panti right now. All his ‘power’ has disappeared now ... @instablog9ja .... Here is the full video ... The Police Command will drop full details. @jidesanwoolu https://t.co/5mOK6pxf0W

This is all shades of wrong! The @PoliceNG staff showed restraint on video- commendable.

To say this is the end result of #EndSARS or say it's 'yoots' is obtuse.
The one that hit an officer over the bridge was just as wrong in his action as these boys.

Hope these guys have been arrested and must be made a scapegoat to know that no matter the situations, a Police officer is still a Police officer https://t.co/KOS9vbREWf
