A mini-lorry driver, Suleiman Adams, on Thursday alleged that an official of the Kubgbo Command of the Vehicle Inspection Office in the Federal Capital Territory brutalised him while he was driving to Abuja.
The driver was reportedly coming from Nyanya when officials of the VIO blocked his vehicle with a pick-up van.
The driver told the News Agency of Nigeria that the officials ordered him to open the door of his vehicle, which he did.
He said he inquired if his offence was because he entered into Abuja before 10am.
Adams added that these same VIO officials had once stopped him and told him not to enter Abuja before 10am.
He said: “As I stopped my vehicle, one Haruna Husseni, an official of the VIO, slapped me just for no reason and dragged me to their office at Kugbo.
“When we got to their office, Husseni again started to slap and kick me until I fell on the ground.”
NAN also reports that during an interview with the alleged brutalised lorry driver, the Kugbo VIO Commander, who witnessed the act, sent for Police Officers in Karu to arrest the NAN Correspondent.
However, when the Police Officers came, they refused to effect the arrest of the NAN Correspondent, saying he was carrying out his lawful duty.
