How Officers Of The FRSC Allegedly Brutalized An Innocent Man

   

A reader sent me this email of how members of the Federal Road Safety Commission(FRSC) allegedly took laws into their hands and used their position as law enforcement agents to brutalize and oppress an innocent man, for no justifiable reason.





 Read all about it when you continue.





According to the email:

On October 24, at about 10am, Gbolahan Olayinka and his office’s

driver had gone to the Mobil filling station along Agege Motor Road,

adjacent FRSC office, Mushin, where they usually buy fuel. On arrival,

they observed that some men of the Federal Road Safety Commission

where stationed there. Gbolahan and his office driver parked at a

place that obviously didn’t obstruct traffic, by the gate of the

filling station. Before they could turn an eyelid, one of the officers

was by their car and was about to release the tube of their tyre.

Gbolahan challenged him for his action. That was when a slap landed on

his face, then another slap from another officer. Before he could say

anything in self defense, the officers – three of them – had pounced

on him. He was bundled into their vehicle and taken to their office

where he was handcuffed to a mast behind their office, his phone was

ceased – he held incommunicado – and beaten mercilessly. He was forced

to write a letter of apology (under duress). They made it clear to him

that he had no way out; he got threats that he would simply be said to

have attacked an officer of the law or that he used charms on someone.

When his brother, who is a lawyer, and other family members got there,

the FRSC officials were threatened to beat them too.

Gbolahan and his people have lugged complaints at the FRSC office in

Ojodu and the Commissioner of Police.

This inhuman treatment must not be allowed to stand.
