Police man beaten up by Okada riders in Lagos!


Commuters and passersby along the Berger Yard area of Lagos were taken by surprise when from no where, a  Police man riding a bike and headed to wards Mile 2 was attacked by Commercial motor cycle riders popularly called 'Okada' riders at the Berger Yard Bus- stop, along Apapa - Mile 2 express way on the 7th of September 2013, at about 4pm. 


The Okada riders who obviously trailed the Policeman to the junction, where he was intercepted, jumped down from their bikes and descended on the unsuspecting Uniformed man, shouting 'Olee olee' meaning 'thief thief', causing the frightened Policeman to abandon his bike and took off. 


Before help could come his way, the riders caught up with him, and dealt him several blow that left him bleeding from his head region; before they retrieved the motor cycle and ran away.





Some officers of the federal road safety commission who were on patrol at the area later arrived the scene and carried the injured Policeman away on their patrol motor bike.

onlookers at the scene, as some of the motorcyclists made away
