A guy named Yusuf was hit by a BRT bus after allegedly being pushed by officers in the Ketu neighbourhood of Lagos State, and a mob battered a yet-to-be-identified policeman until he was rendered unconscious.
Eyewitnesses at the scene told MDB that Yusuf was being pushed into the BRT lane while the police officer and his colleagues were trying to remove him from his car.

In the process, one of the BRT buses plying the lane inward Lagos rammed into Yusuf who collapsed due to the impact of the crash.
An eyewitness, who does not want her name mentioned, said the policemen were responsible for Yusuf’s ordeal, adding that he sustained varying degrees of injury as a result of the incident.
“The policemen caused this; they were the ones that were trying to dispossess the man of his vehicle and while trying to push the man out of the vehicle, they pushed him on the BRT lane and an incoming bus ran into the man,” the eyewitness said.
The uniform of the brutalised policeman had been torn due to the impact of the attack on him by the angry mob.
People were also seen lamenting over the incident and blaming the policeman and his colleagues for causing the accident.
However, while assessing the injuries Yusuf sustained from the impact of the accident, our correspondent saw a deep cut on his right arm as people rushed him into a vehicle for onward treatment in a hospital.
Policemen attached to the Ketu Division were seen storming the scene to restore normalcy. The yet-to-be-identified policeman was also rushed to the hospital for treatment.
