Okada rider beaten and stripped naked by policemen (Photos)

A LIB reader who witnessed this incident yesterday sent in the report and photos. According to her, the naked man in the picture is an Okada man who violated the new Lagos state traffic law. He was arrested at the junction adjoining University road and St Finbarrs college road Akoka by policemen in mufti, and before anyone could say anything, the policemen descended on the Okadaman, beating him mercilessly and then stripping him naked.

They stopped the inhuman treatment after people around gathered at the scene and begged them to stop. This is the police protecting us! SMH!

Haba! The governor did not send them to go strip naked the okada rider. These are a bunch of overzealous uniform men. May God help us in this country.

They can beat a defenceless okada man who's struggling to get his daily bread but run away at the sight of true criminals.

Jungle Justice is the way to go in that country of mine called Nigeria. How could the police force treat someone so inhumanely?
A police man forced a 15yrs old boy to obey instructions here in London and THE POLICE MAN WAS ASKED TO RESIGN OR FACE A SACK for using force on a 15yrs old.
When will Nigeria progress from such BARBARIC ACTS????????? SMH...

Wrong they beat him up but who ask am drive okada wen it has been bound... In some roads..Abeg make we give ourselves brain to avoid #douknowme

instead of issuing the guy a traffic ticket they strip him, and Humiliate him, what does stripping someone naked have to do with a traffic citation.


our govt is so backward, instead to turn the okada ban to a revenue for the state, any okada disobeying the traffic law, issue him a ticket, when he pays the ticket he can get his bike back, why destroy something someone spend their life savings on. so not fear,

until they give us 24hrs electric companies are not going to come to Nigeria, before you take away there okada provide them with jobs

Mr fashola i had a lot of respect for you sir. THere is better way to enforce this law, hit them in the pocket, at list they will have their bike to make the money back, destroying their bikes, show lack of respect for the poor who elected you.

TWITS said...

These are those that claim they are our friends, right? Is that how to treat one that violates a law? And to imagine such a treatment coming from our "protectors". If not for people's intervention, they (the police) might have ended up lynching him in public, like was done in Aluu. Its so unfortunate..there's so much to learn in this country. Those policemen need to be PROSECUTED! I weep for this nation.

TheNigerian police r the worse in the world. They r all uneducated drunks . When will we have a serious leader that will do things that matter instead doing useless things . We need to fix our education system, overhaul the police force in the whole country as in totally change the face of the police force. . We need to fix the power problems .. In less that 10 yrs we can fix Nigeria . When will we have a leader that is more concerned about leaving a legacy instead of stealing money ?...

You know when people yammer about the West being amoral and talk about how it is corrupting us I can't help but laugh. Maybe before, stripping someone was seen as a way to embarrass them completely, but the ease with which it is done these days is becoming suspect. Being gay is unAfrican my ass. What we are is a perverted country hiding in denial by making excess noise about 'perversity' *hiss* I hope they're happy sha

Is that what they call justice? This is not funny at all cos this type of incident is making me distanting myself more and more from this lawless country of ours.

my brother keep asking me when next am coming, and i told him when they stop kidnapping and beating innocent people. Seeing this, I think I'll pass on coming for now.

I don't know how people that lives there do it.

Why is it so difficult for Nigeria to be a civilized country?
Instead of the government to pass laws against de-humanizing, and police brutality, Gov Fashola is busy passing laws preventing from Lagosians from eating Gala while driving. Horrible country with equally devilish and unthinking government officials.

No way!!! This information is TOTALLY WRONG!!! I was at the scene when the whole drama started, the okada man took of his clothes by HiMSELF, he stripped himself, I was even scared cos I thot he was going mad, till people around said that is their usual practice whenever they think they will be arrested by policemen, the police guys didn't even touch him till I left the scene, and I was around there for over 30 minutes... Please guys, let's try to validate 'stories' before we start spreading 'the gist'....

Mr propaganda, u said u were at d scene...
See d report in newspapers:
Lagos Traffic Law: Policemen brutalise, strip okada rider
Some policemen reportedly took the enforcement of the Lagos Traffic Law to the extreme on Wednesday as they allegedly beat an unidentified okada rider and stripped him in Akoka, Lagos.
An eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, said the victim was caught while riding at the junction of University Road and St. Finbarr’s College Road in Akoka.
He stated that the man was plying the route oblivious that plain-clothes policemen had laid ambush in a van with registration number NPF9544B, in the area.
The eyewitness said immediately the policemen saw the okada rider, they pounced on him, beat him up and later asked him to take all his clothes off.
Recently, PUNCH Metro reported that an okada rider died after he was hit with a baton by a policeman who insisted the victim violated the traffic law at Agege area of Lagos.
A month earlier, it was also reported that a driver of the state ambulance service, died after a policemen allegedly hit him in the head at Surulere area of Lagos for plying a road that has been designated as out of bound to commercial motorcycles.
When contacted on Thursday, the police spokesperson in the state, Ngozi Braide, neither picked her call nor responded to a text message sent to her phone.
