“They pounced on me and gave me the beating of my life” – Man narrates ordeal with FRSC officials

No longer able to condone the level of brutality meted on him by the men of Federal Road Safety, Oshodi Unit, a Lagos state based man, Mr. Gbolahan Olayinka, stormed their Lagos head office in seek of redress.
According to the visibly tortured man, the incident happened on Tuesday, October 24, 2013 at Oshodi where he had gone to fuel his official car at a filling station. Not quite long after he parked right inside the Filling Station, the officials approached him claiming the way he parked obstructed other motorists. Olayinka said he refuted their claims because his car was not on the road but parked according to the directions of the station manager.
But trouble ensued when one of the three FRSC men at the scene thereafter attempted to deflate his tyre but he tried to restrain him.
“I went to Mobil Filling Station, Oshodi to buy fuel. Suddenly, one FRSC official made an attempt to deflate my official car tyre. When I asked him why he was trying to do that, he said the side I parked my car was causing obstruction. I found it funny because it was untrue. Moreover, the filling station manager, who is a customer of our company, instructed my driver to park at the location. Other officers who felt I was preventing their colleague from doing his work pounced on me and gave me the beating of my life.
