Olusegun Ariyo, Urban Express News Editor, has
narrated how a policeman attached to Ipaja
Alagolo Police Division in Lagos, threatened to
shoot him with his daughter in the car.
The journalist told
DAILY POST on Friday that the
incident occured on Tuesday near Jakande Estate
within Ipaja metropolis.
Ariyo narrated that a team of policemen, jogging
on the opposite direction of Ipaja Ayobo road,
stopped moving vehicles in line to make a rightful
u-turn.
He described their car as a purple Toyota Sienna
with an inscription ‘Nigeria Police – Lagos State
Command’.
Ariyo said when the blockage caused by the
operatives dragged for about twenty minutes, he
called the attention of one of them to explain
there was an emergency.
“I pleaded that they should allow me pass
because I was taking my daughter who was in
excruciating pains with malaria symptoms to the
hospital.
“What followed was ‘Are you are stupid?’ He
pointed his firearm toward my direction and
threatened to shoot.
“‘I will wipe-out you and your generation, who are
you to say you want to go?'” the former Thisday
staff quoted the policemen saying.
The father regretted that a security agent expected
to protect people’s lives and property used a
weapon bought with taxpayers’ money to
intimidate a family in distress.
“The Lagos Command recently said it was
embarking on personnel reform amid the End
SARS protests and calls for an end to police
brutality. What transpired confirmed there’s still a
long walk to freedom”, he said.
Ariyo urged the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem
Odumosu to investigate the matter and ensure
that his officers and men desist from oppressing
fellow citizens.
