One of the lawyer’s friends, Victor Ibeh, also corroborated his story. Ibeh who claimed he has been harassed by officers five times said Moses was subjected to inhuman treatment by the alleged officers.
They shared evidence of the assault
PAY ATTENTION:
Ibeh said: “One of the worries I have about this country is the fact that citizens can’t even live a normal life without facing police harassment. Why do the bad eggs in the police force keep victimizing innocent citizens?
I have personally been harassed five times. Yet, we have criminals roaming the streets of lagos.
This man in this video Hon Chinweuba Moses was my course rep during my school days. He is a practicing lawyer who knows the law. Yet, he was subjected to this inhuman treatment just for owning a car and driving on a road in his home country.
Does it mean that FRSC is ignorant of reckless driving by security operatives? If this could happen to a lawyer, what is the fate of the common man? We will all keep mum until these people decimate us all. To even think that they shot at his tires and damaged them, worries me. What if they had shot directly at him?
If you haven’t encountered police men in Lagos, you may not understand how serious this is. These days we are scared of meeting police men on the road than we are of robbers. Isn’t that worrisome?
I will never understand why people who live on tax payers’ money will be harassing the same people feeding them.
There are stories of people who have been forced to withdraw money from ATM by police men. To argue with them is even to make your matter worse.
How did we even get here?”
