The video of the clash between broadcaster Rufai Oseni and some policemen in Lagos over his illegal use of the BRT lane on Monday has surfaced.
Mr Oseni had raised a claim on Twitter that a policeman pointed a gun at him for driving in the BRT lane.
The broadcaster is seen in a video trending on Twitter on Tuesday looking upset over the incident.
He goes to his car, then comes back to the policemen who were in their vehicle and says, “I will call the governor…nonsense!”
However, Gboyega Akosile, chief press secretary to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had on Monday described the journalist as a lawbreaker, saying Oseni had already admitted his offence to the police.
Mr Akosile said Rufai would face the necessary penalty for flouting BRT rules.
“Thank you Rufai, while the @PoliceNG deal with the police officer in their own way, we’d ensure that necessary action is taken against you for driving on BRT lane as you’ve admitted to the police. You’re a lawbreaker and you should face the necessary penalties,” he said.
Rufai immediately replied Akosile, saying he did not deliberately break the law. He said he would not have used the BRT lane if other drivers had not used it.
