Policeman breaks Lagos driver head.......SEE PHOTO

Firstclass newsline learnt that according to an eyewitness who tweeted
and posted pictures of the incident, using the Twitter handle,
@yekeme, the policeman allegedly assaulted the driver for hitting his
(policeman's) car and slightly denting it.
In the pictures posted on the social media platform, the unidentified
commercial bus driver was seen with blood on his head.
The policeman was identified as Azeez Adebayo.
"An officer did this (assaulted) to a Lagos driver just now. This
driver was brutally beaten and injured because of this scratch
#LekkiTollGate. This is the corporal who injured the driver (Azeez
Adebayo). The driver was tear-gassed.
"Workers of Lekki Concession Company came to the rescue of the driver
with first aid. This driver was brutalised. They are now at the Maroko
police station in Lekki Phase 1. He (policeman) is now begging the
driver to forgive him," he tweeted.
Efforts to get a reaction from the Nigeria Police proved abortive as
phone calls made and text messages sent to the Police Force Public
Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu and his Lagos State counterpart,
Kenneth Nwosu, were not responded to earlier on Saturday.
Nwosu called back around 11pm and promised to give a reaction to the story.
He was yet to do this as at press time.
Earlier this year, a commercial driver, Paul Anieke, was beaten up by
a naval officer, identified simply as Sunday, at Banana bus stop in
Ajegunle in Lagos.
Anieke was said to be waiting at the bus stop on to pick passengers
when the officer, said to be in a Nissan car with naval emblem,
accused him of blocking the road. The officer was alleged to have
angrily alighted from his car with a whip and repeatedly flogged the
driver, hitting him in the eyes with his fist. The driver reportedly
slumped and was later taken to the Ajeromi General Hospital.
In December 2014, a 29-year-old photographer, Ejeh Smith, and his
pregnant wife, Grace, 26, were also assaulted by a police officer,
identified as Dada Ogunsanya, who allegedly tortured them with his
rifle.
Also in September, some policemen along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway
beat up a commercial bus driver and his conductor for failure to part
with some amount of money as "settlement" for alleged traffic
offences.
The incident occurred at Agric bus stop, where the driver of a
14-seater commercial bus, marked, (LAGOS) GGE 554 XK, stopped to pick
up passengers.
Similarly in February 2014, a cab driver operating on Falomo Road,
Ikoyi, accused a Deputy Superintendent of Police, identified as Okon,
of assaulting and chaining him to a rail for allegedly disrespecting
him.
The cab driver, who identified himself as Obinna, claimed he was tied
to a rail that was used to guard a pumping machine in the Falomo
Police Hospital for over one hour and pummelled by another policeman
on Okon's instruction.
