A dramatic confrontation unfolded on the Lagos-Benin Expressway when police officers were compelled to pay ₦350,000 for breaking the rear glass of a transport company’s bus. Witnesses reported that the officers, allegedly armed with a firearm, shattered the bus's rear window, prompting immediate protests from other drivers affiliated with the transport company.
The drivers, angered by the incident, quickly banded together to block the expressway, demanding that the police officers pay for the damage. The protestors refused to clear the road until the compensation was settled, a stand that ultimately forced the officers to relent.
After a tense standoff, the police officers agreed to pay ₦350,000 in compensation for the broken glass, effectively bringing the situation to a close. While the incident caused significant traffic disruption on the busy expressway, it also underscored a rare moment of swift accountability, as the officers were made to answer for their actions in real-time.
