A video showing a female officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) fighting with the driver of a vehicle in motion in FCT has gone viral.
A one minute and 16 seconds video recorded on the mobile phone of the front seat passenger, Mogazi, was posted on Facebook. The video showed the female official struggling from the back seat to apply the handbrake in a desperate attempt to bring the vehicle to a halt.
But Mogazi, who sat in the front, and the driver resisted her, resulting in a commotion as the car moved on. The conversation below ensued among the trio:
Mogazi: You call yourself a safety officer; (can) you see what you are doing? A safety officer, a road safety officer; look at what you are doing? You want to kill…
Female official: If you see your wife on the road…
Mogazi: Which wife? You see what you are doing. Is this right?
Female official: Yes!
Driver: Don’t worry; don’t worry. I will take this thing to the authorities. Video her name. Make sure you get her name. You have spoilt my vehicle.
Mogazi: (to the official) Do you see what you have done?
Driver: Don’t worry, I get the time. You see what you are doing to my vehicle. Don’t fight her.
Mogazi: You call yourself a safety officer; you are a disgrace.
Female official: What of you? Are you not a disgrace?
Mogazi: I am not. You want to break my hand. You applied the handbrake. The vehicle is moving and you put it on handbrake.
Driver: (as other officials appeared in a van) Video them; video them very well. Good.
One of the officials rushed down from the van nd angrily smashed the window glass of the car.
“You are stupid. You are very stupid,” he yelled.
Toward the end of the video, a male officer jumped out of the FRSC van that was in pursuit of the vehicle and shattered the front window on the passenger side of the car.
