Photos: Kai official beaten up in Lagos

An official of the Kick Against Indiscipline, a body setup to instill discipline in Lagos state, was beaten up by some hoodlums along Allen Avenue yesterday September 10th. According to eyewitnesses, some KAI officials had stormed the area and immediately started confiscating wares of some street traders selling in the traffic that had built up in the area.


The recharge card of one of the traders was also confiscated while the trader was allegedly beaten up and forced into the KAI van. Some of the traders and passersby who felt the recharge card seller was unjustly treated, started harassing the KAI officials who on seeing that they were being outnumbered, took to their heels. However one of the Kai officials was held on to by the traders and was beaten up.

      I think this street trading gives room for traffic robbery, because some of them pretend to sell to you before rubbing you.

    2. Shut d f**k up, see dis nonentity!, don't come here n be saying rubbish, they r not d one rubbing pple, govt needs to help them, not that they will collect their gds, beat them up n send them away empty, immediately u c those robbers, u will recognise them from their look, not those ones looking for a way to live, Kai officials knw those thieves but they don't born them well go near them, I had d opportunity to interviewed some of these guys b4, I felt like crying, it's cos they don't have a way out of their current situation that is y they're doing that, so don't judge anyone b4 u knw their story, fine, some of them might be thieves am not disputing dt but let govt start somtin to help them out instead of adding to their burden. I have neva hawked on d street b4 but I feel their pains. God Bless Nigeria!

    1. Maybe you're an illegal street trader, because I've searched high and low and that's the only reasonable explanation I can think of for why you would comment the rubbish you just did... Or you could just be plain stupid, that works too.

  7. Both parties are wrong. Kai members should learn to treat these people as humans n accord them due respect. Politely talk to them and ask them to leave the area. The traders too are wrong, they had no right to beat up one of them, after all they've been told not to hawk on road sides.

  19. make him thank him God say him no die... confiscating wares where poor people make ends meet.. they should ask traders to leave & not seize their items. and FYI they (KAI) always collect money from street traders and are only hostile when the traders refuse to give them money, so the punishment serves him right..

  21. I will say I like the fight back... lets face it " I have seen the way KAI officials treat traders on the road, its so in human, they size their goods and lock them up, and when they come to claim or bail the products you cant find it, some of these traders cant afford a shop space that's y they sell on the road, KAI officails wait for you to fall short of their law then they take advantage of it to fill their pockets or meet their need.
    our government should train these officials to learn how to control pple and not to molest them.

  22. More than deserving for the KAI guy. The collect OWO KAI from those sellers at Cele Express bus stop from Monday to Sunday. Monday-Friday is N700.00 per day why on Sat is N1000 and Sunday N700.00. If you refuse to give the guy that collects it for them he will seize what ever you are selling. And the collect the OWO kai from 5pm or 6pm.Uncle Amode you can monitor these KAI THIEVES.
