The convoy of the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Wednesday apprehended two Airforce cadets in Mile 12 area of the State while dehumanizing an artisan, Dahiru Lawal for allegedly breaking the windscreen of a Chrysler Stratus car with registration number KRD 267 DV.The cadets – Peters O. Solomon and Abdullahi Fahad, who claimed to be Airforce personnel attached to the Airforce Base in Ikeja, had forced Lawal in the boot of their car after dragging him on the ground for the said offence.
Governor Ambode, who was returning from an inspection visit to Agbowa in Ikorodu, saw the situation and swiftly intervened to save Lawal who was gasping for breath.
The Governor wondered how such inhuman treatment could be meted to a fellow citizen just for slightly breaking the windscreen of a car.
When questioned by journalists, the cadets admitted putting Lawal in the boot of their car.
According to them, Lawal tried to escape after breaking the windscreen and ran into the nearby market where they eventually chased and apprehended him.
Peters said: “What happened is that the boy broke the windscreen in front of my car. When I stopped, I asked him to come, the boy ran away. We have to drag him back and put him in the boot.”
“I kind of threatened his boss that he is working with and when his boss came and looked at what he did to me, that was when I put him inside the boot for the remaining ones to go and call the boss. Not that I locked the boot, I only put him inside the boot, but I did not lock the boot,” he said.
Also Abdullahi said himself and Peters were along Mile 12 after visiting a friend when they heard a knack on their windscreen and they saw Lawal attempting to escape.
“We now run inside the market and dragged him (Lawal) down. I was even asking who he is working with because I want to see his Oga since I know he cannot repair my damaged windscreen. I want to see the man he is working with so that we can settle everything with him. I now told my colleague that we should hand him over to Airforce police at the Airforce Base,” Abdullahi said.
While narrating his ordeal in the hands of the cadets, Lawal who hails from Kaduna State, said he mistakenly damaged the windscreen with the load he carried, and that he took to his heels because he was afraid of what they might do to him.
He said: “I ran into the market and they pursued me and caught me inside the market. They started beating me and dragged me to their car.”
“I ran because I was afraid of what the cadets might do to me, while my boss and people around begged on my behalf, but their pleas fell on deaf ears.”
“The police also came to plead with them to open the boot but they insisted on taking me away and it was at that point that the convoy of the Governor arrived to rescue me from the boot of the car where they kept me,” Lawal said.
He added that he lost his cell phone and the sum of N5, 000 which he was having on him at the point that he was being dragged on the floor.
The Governor had since ordered that the suspects be handed over to the police for further investigation and possible prosecution.

THIS IS A VERY GOOD EFFORT FROM AMBODE. HE has finally woken up from his slumber.
Wow
THIS OFFICERS SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY DEALT WITH,ITS NOT JUST APPREHENDING THEM. JUST IMAGINE,PUTTING YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEING IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR,AS IF THE PERSON IS A GOAT........IT SHOULD SERVE AS A WARNING TO OTHER WICKED OFFICERS.
These soldiers can be too extreme with their punishment. And these are types who would rather resign than to go to the northeast

Whykay
lol governor,dis nigeria self...
Thank God the convoy came on time ooh or that would have died there and twill become story for the gods and besides how do they expect an artisan to pay for the broken windscreen?? People don't have good sensible mind at times
anaekwe.ucheslimj@gmail.com
Sorry Linda there U are wrong. Civilians can not hand military men over to civil police for investigation or prosecution. The military has its own police. Haven't U ever heard of the military police, Airforce and Naval police? Next time pls report ur news more accurately. Thanks.
D-PinPointer Says: I don't get it: "The Governor had since ordered that the suspects be handed over to the police for further investigation." So who are the suspects? The navy cadets or the boy and his 'oga'?
If the governor is sensible enough, he would have recommended that the navy cadets be fired from the navy because that was an abuse of power and the earlier people like that are flushed out from the forces, the better Nigeria will be.
Nice they should be dealt with as a lesson for other cadets misbehaving
Look @the governors stomach! Sir pls do something abt ur tommy
How did ambode get into office? D guy is seriously wrecking havoc in lagos, was he suppose to hand d boy over to d police or d airforce cadet?

Na today??? Buhari's government has empowered them more sef. Now they have the licence to kill without anyone blinking sef. MILITARY DEMOCRACY.
Only Ambode and his convoy sees everything. They should see to Lagos as well.
1. Some officers behave like the country belonged to them
2. Some boy in Lagos deserve what they get
3. #MYOPINION#
That man is insane. If it's his brother or his son that broke his windscreen the treatment won't be this way. Thank God ambode saw them.
Kai..common man don suffer. Imagine.. Na God save him
Stupid cadets....Linda much love/Linda take/Long live LIB
Some people go use their hand dey invite trouble upon themselves. Why did he run? When he was apprehended, couldn't they have found a more subtle approach to arriving at a compromise?

This is unfair beating the boy wz nt enof locking him in de boot?wat if he had died dis officers r so mean
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
JUNGLE JUSTICE WILL TAKE US NOWHERE. GOOD MOVE BY AMBODE TO INTERVENE.
...ON A SIDE NOTE, THIS IS A MOST UNFLATTERING PICTURE OF THE GOVERNOR AMBODE,SURELY THERE MUST BE ANOTHER ONE AROUND THAT DOESN'T MAKE HIM APPEAR SO BLOATED AND UNHEALTHY.
Hmmmmmm!!#lindaNgwanu#
Thank God they were caught..these people can misbehave at times o
You go fear reality tv. Who's he fooling? Always staging one incident or the other to make people believe he's working
Kudos Mr Governor.
