Nollywood actor, Gideon Okeke has narrated his recent ugly encounter
with officers of the Nigerian Police Force and LASTMA. Narrating his
experience, the actor said, 'yesterday, after I had finished from a
scheduled meeting with Charles Otudor I left the Eko Hotel and joined
the gradually building traffic leading on to Lekki'. Only a few minutes
from my meeting, had I unfortunately run into a minor collision with
another driver, Mrs Mosunmola Ilori, at the Lekki Phase 1 roundabout. We
both inspected the damage(s), conferred and thought first, to get off
the road for oncoming traffic. Just less than 10feet away from all this
were the Lastma and Police, sharing the police post at the
roundabout. All I asked, was their assistance (witnessed by Mrs Ilori)
in getting some barricades off the road for us to park properly and this
scenario I have just described, turned into a full blown fiasco, seeing
4 police officers pounce on me and 2 others on Mrs Ilori and her niece.
I have come off this incident with stitches in my mouth and chin. Mrs
Ilori as well, to the full glare and amazement of pedestrians and moving
traffic, was ruffled up, beat, and dragged on the tarred ground. The
Leading man here was one Officer IDEH DONATUS who severally pointed a
gun in my chest. I hereby humbly call on the executive governor of Lagos
state, @akinwunmiambode the Vice President @profosinbajo the

your offices in addressing these civil injustices filed at the
