Got this report from a freelance journalist who witnessed the incident on Friday Dec. 3rd. According to him, officials of the Abuja
Environmental Protection Board and police stripped a taxi driver naked after they caught him trying to pick passengers at Kuchingoro Junction along airport road in Abuja. He said as the taxi driver stopped at the junction to pick passengers (He said taxis are allowed to pick passengers at that junction), the AEPB officials came out of nowhere, surrounded the taxi driver and tried to drag him into their Hilux truck. When he tried to resist, they tore his clothes and stripped him naked. (You will find the photo evidence after the cut).
The eyewitness said as he and another reporter got to the scene and started asking questions, a female police officer started shooting into the air to scare them and others away. But when they refused to leave and promised to expose what they did, the police officers entered their truck and drove off. See pics after the cut.
Shells of some of the bullets they shot.

This is Barbaric, This is a crime against humanity, there are other ways of dealing with issues of this nature than stripping an adult naked in the public, and what is the sporadic shooting for? goooosh!!!!!supposing the stray bullet hit someone? damnnnnn!!!
Nawaooo...strange tins like dis sti apuns!!! Dey shud b able to trace dos pple tru d shells of d bullet...
Datz wat dose guyz do in abuja....coz Govt gave dem lil power.Mr taxi driver nxt tym wea pant,boxer Ç»n̶̲̥̅̊Ôƒ shortz incase e happen agin.
you can take a black man out of the jungle, but you cannot take the jungle out of him. this has nothing to do with whether the officials are refined or not. why would anyone think that stripping someone in public can ever be a way to enforce a law.
we have many educated people .infact over educated, but the lack of finesse is a major problem especially in the police force in naija. and making ridiculous arguments
Na wa oo...dey can trace dos pple tru d shells of d bullets
So much for Law and Order
So much for Law and Order
disgraceful!
Daz hw dy beat up an old man of 72 dat stays close to me,wen he was rushed to Hospital,I dnt knw d diagnosis but wat I knw was dat he was urinating blood nd had brain damage he died within hours,dz was sm1 his first dota was abt gettin married,,dz is one of few abt dz devils dat call demslvz men on uniform,,God dat I serve will judge

wonder why we have to humiliate people in public naija go betta someday sha.....buh d dude shud at least not have broken d laws anyhow sha...i wnt to be an active lib reader dix year part of ma new year resolution
Idiot and useless officials...they break the law most and real thief they can't face
Authorities r still not gonna do or say nothing,#gud governance
Too bad......DaJaX
Jisox!!!!!!!!!
Their level of rascality is alarming,on several occasions I've seen them in action,the AEPB is a conglametation of all the criminal elements in Abuja.
Its a very unfortunate situation we'vefound ourselves in Abuja.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
I leav in Abuja and I knw very well wat dis so called AEPB is doin to people in Abuja here.this is where corupitions is highly praticalised,They maltreat people collect their goods and share it among themselves,God will have mercy on dis our country.
Naija and powwe
Naija and power
Ki Olorun ma sho wa
This is d height... what manner of nonsense is this... power drunk officers
Because he carried passenger wrongly.... Lawless country.
Wickedness..they would av stay nahh,rubbish.
Well, thank God no one was hurt.
Things re happening.
Thank God they decided to stand up for that taxi driver,now can you imagine how much more stuff we can get done if we all stand up for one another any time the police tries to harass us? This story while negative for the police gives me hope that at least we still have compassion for our fellow Nigerians..
The rate at which people dehumanize others in Nigeria is just alarming. This is why other parts of the world still categorise us as a 3rd world rustic nation. Its appalling
This is police brutality!
IGP will do well to punish all the erring officers involved. This type of crude method of enforcing our laws will only expose our officers as one with very poor record of human rights. This type of human rights violation needs to be nipped in the bud. Our police need to be more professional in the way they apprehend offenders, so that the international community will not see Nigeria as a banana republic.
Is that meant to be an arrest or a beat-down??
BABARIC!
BABARIC!
I tire for this country sha. Smh
Over zealous officials. This is wicked, just for picking passengers at the wrong spot? Haba!
Abuse of power...
Naija police!!! Smh at dem
When will Nigerian officials stop treating people like animals???!!! Mtcheeew.
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? ARE THESE THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHOM WE RELY ON FOR SECURITY? THIS IS CRAZY. ARE THESE PEOPLE REALLY FROM THE POLICE FORCE? TUFIAKWA BIKO!!!!
This is sad. So at the end what where they able to achieve? Somebody's husband, father stripped naked on express road say watin happen nau? #angryface#
There don't seem to exist any form of human right in Nigeria. Cos there is a gross neglect of it. Innocent until proven guilty na long talk for here.

Tears!!! just so his family can feed. I still do not know where the problem lies...leaders, followers or mmadu dum!?
Nawao o
Lord AV mercy on nigerians
This is absolutely wrong!
What will they charged him for if they did take him away or are they ritualists?
Are this nigerian law enforcement officers serious. Nigeria is falling apart what I'm I still doing here sef.
When will the police start protecting citizens in Nigeria instead of molesting them? This brutality. What could have been the offence that they had to strip him naked? What's gonna happen now after they have been exposed?
In as much as I don't support what dis officials did,the driver shouldn't have resist arrest abuja is one of the states military men are working day and night to curb the excesses of boko haram so every law and order must be maintained by citizens also,the taxi man could ve been anything sentiments aside.
may God punish AEPB guys ad d police on duty dat is all I hav 2 say
Dats just crazy. .....nd simply inhumane
God purnish dem
Good evidence, Nigerians are becoming couragous.
Are they Into rituals now? Mtweeeeeessss
Nawo for NPF.....hehehehe
Lord have mercy on this country!!
♓☺w can U just beat up nd naked A̶̲̅ grown up man like dis??? Nigeria police, make una wise naaaaaaa.
Still abbreviating some words in 2014??? Pipo, hu??? Smh
Thank God for the boldness of the journalist o! If we stand together, we can flush out these demented ppl. Stripping a man naked? How does it aid justice? www.drnsmusings.wordpress.com
Am touched by dis story!!!! Lets all lend our voice thru comments until the National Assembly takes action. This is Barbaric
The animals we choose to be in this country tho. Thanks Linda for this post. They ran away, but thank God we already have their pictures here. Linda, I beg of you since you already have their pictures here,if you can make this matter a big deal so those guys can be apprehended please do. We as Nigerians need to learn how to start treating people with justice BY THE LAW & not by animalistic behaviours/actions/emotions.
Another call for justice
Fools. Asinine unwholesome pig headed civil servants using power on incubacy to cheat the civilians. Well, nemesis will catch up with them. Fools
It's Good we have this crime in pictures, let's hope our judicial system can put these guys in order, if a taxi driver carries passengers from the wrong place, d penalty isn't to strip him naked, they should follow due course for such offense.- Mr angry citz
Nigerian police, their heart is as black as the black uniform they wear. They are not ♏Æ” friend.
I'm not surprised cos it's naija
They shd be prosecuted.
When u dint strip d man naked he refuse 2 follow u pple,so now that u have stripped him naked wld that make him follow u pple.Nigerian police r jst so useless.y did they zoom off.useless bunch of fools.I pray they get caught.

#That happy sister!
Nigerians can be civilized, it's utter nonsense.. Our Police are known to be over zealous in enforcing their duties. The issue with the Nigerian Police Force is that they are untrained and never act to handle the ordinary Nigerians with respect..
This is sad,persin papa! Later they would open their dirty mouth to vomit the words,"Police is your friend"!
ANALYSE THIS RENO..........
ANALYSE THIS RENO..........
NIGERIA????
These officials shd be dealt wit! There actions, very offensive!dey don't go by d book @all.dey shd be disengage frm der work to serve as a lesson to othrs!smh
He kill people? Funny enough tis so called police men do nt kn the law of Nig.
this is good jornalism, enough pictures to support d story. Even some news papers in nigeria cnt do such.Nice work. U r fighting corruption frm one end
lol @ ANALYSE this REno. This is unacceptable. Kai
What a country!!!
Dis is too bad
Linda, thanks for posting this news, SeyiBello.
Sorry oga driverm
nigerian police very useless set of frustrated nincompoops
I'm telling, he wz really lucky bt I can c anoda taxi parked dere y didn't dey harass dat cab man too??? I jst dnt like the police....dey r nt our friends at all bt terrorists I swear. Na wa o
The police officers lack basic intelligence and they are completely untrained int he finer arts of policing. One of those bullets could have easily ricochet and hit someone. It is quite sad when the armed robbers treat their victims better than the police does.
God punish them
He was lucky he was stripped naked, wat if he was shot nko. Hate them wif passion
The officer has no experience any ordinary constable. when did a lady start to carry gun.?

Its very saddening how power gets to peoples heads in this country. It would be even more sad if nothing is done about this. Big kudos to the witnesses who refused to be passive by-standers; may God bless them and protect them for looking out for their fellow citizen and showing love. God bless Nigeria!
GOD WILL SAVE US FROM NPF , AEPB & V.I.O IN ABUJA. V.I.O CAUSE A FRIEND OF MINE TO DAMAGE HER CAR WHILE SHE SWERVE 2 AVOID THEIR CHASE OF A BUS DRIVER. WHEN SHE TOOK THEM TO POLICE STATION THEY CONNIVE WIT THE POLICE OFFICERS AND PRODUCED A REPORT STATING SHE AND THE BUS DRIVER WERE CHASING THEMSELVES.
GOD HELP US
Omgosh!!! WTF wen will Nigerian change their attitude?? They can't try all these in other countries. . Nigerian has a long way to go.. thanks to the good citizens who rescued the cab man.. Linda abeg ooo post my comment
This is a reflection of the near total collapse of governance that now pervades the entire country with nincompoops ruling us there will be many more horrific activities. Very soon the ordinary people will be left with no option than to defend themselves from these bunch of demented tyrants, that is what will finally bring sanity back. As long as the people continue to accept this bullsh*t, anarchy ill continue unabated.
Wots wrong wiv it?
Only God knows d rate at which I hate d police force.
D new style now in naija is 2 strip people naked at d slightest opportunity.
