A video making the rounds online has captured the moment a man broke a bottle on the head of a police officer for reportedly attempting to impound his pick-up truck in Lagos state.
The duo could be seen atop the back of a truck arguing inaudibly as the man appeared to be telling the officer to step down from his vehicle.
Someone in the background, who appeared to be the man behind the camera, kept encouraging the man to assault the police officer by break a bottle on his head.
Upon seeing that the officer was insistent in impounding the vehicle, the man who was holding a bottle initially acted as though he was going to use it.
However, after some seconds of inaudible verbal exchange, the young man went ahead and hit the bottle on the policeman’s head and shoved him out of the vehicle.

Imagine hitting a bottle on the head of a Nigerian police just because you wanna garner street cred or show that you can do as you so will to.
I am tremendously sure that guy and his family would rue the rest of their lives if the NPF takes it up. Total nonsense.

Don’t even know what came over that guy that broke bottle on the policeman’s head . Yes the police institution have been desecrated and thier brutality still lives in our head but that doesn’t justify that act . We want the police reformed and also citizens to be law abiding too

This is not acceptable, we can argue, talk or shout at a uniform man but not to the point of violence, he was doing is job and and if he wasn’t doing it well, he should be reported but who are we going to report to anyway? It’s all carbon copied 🤦

I love how a large chunk of the comments here condemn the barbaric act of the civilian against the policeman.
I hope he and his supporters cool off in jail. I’m sure there’s enough bottle to break in kirikiri.

It’s bad
I’m not saying Nigerian Police are good but this man is old enough to father this guy.
He should at least respect the age before anything.
If it was his father that is being done that way wouldn’t he try to fight for him?Let’s be guided in anything we’re doing 🤲

This ain’t unfair, what could.the policeman have done for him to break bottle on his head

This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Assault on a law enforcement agency is an offense.
The guy should be made to apologize, then arrested and charged accordingly.— Masseur Esq. (@samadegoke_) April 21, 2021
The civilian went too far and should be arrested.
What on earth could be the Police man’s offence?

This is totally irresponsible of him even if the man isn’t a police man. He should rust in kirikiri prison

I don’t know what transpired between them,that guy should be locked up and dealt with.

@PoliceNG @PoliceNG_CRU @rrslagos767 Please do your job and get this criminal apprehended ASAP. We can’t be condemning bad behavior of few element in the force and then allowed a civilian to treat an unarmed policeman this way and go scotfree.

As much as we are not okay with the way the @PoliceNG is… This is very wrong. The guy shouldn’t have done that. Very very wrong.
