The viral video shared by a lady on Snapchat identified as Light Orji, had a caption saying
“Had the most traumatic experience today, literally had to jump off the vehicle. Stupid police man was strangling my Uber guy while he was driving on full speed”
An X user, #Omolomo_o quoted the video saying,
“In case you see this please you only have one duty, tag #Princemoye1 #PoliceNG and #PoliceNG_CRU Let them see how an officer of the law is strangling a driver in motion.”
The police officer reportedly said that “he was ordered to take the Uber driver to the office, but the Uber driver began to drive him somewhere else. He said when he asked the driver to stop, he said no.”
