A driver is in critical condition after his car flipped several times during a fight with a police officer who is said to have grabbed the steering wheel.
The officer allegedly took the driver’s phone and ₦100,000.
This event was recorded in a viral video on X, previously known as Twitter.
In the video, a man thought to be the driver is heard shouting in pain, claiming that the police are extorting him and treating him badly.
The footage shows him on the ground after being taken from the wreck, while an officer is also seen getting assistance out of the damaged car.
In a shaky voice, the driver laments:
“This is not the first time they are harassing me. Every time, they find a way to harass me. The police have killed me! Every day, they collect money from me. They took ₦100,000 and my phone. This is not even the third time.”
As the video became popular, many people filled the comment section, criticizing the supposed police wrongdoing and demanding justice.
