Comedienne, Lepacious Bose, in an Instagram post on Wednesday, expressed disappointment at the attitude of Nigerian law enforcement agents towards people in need.
Though she avoids commenting on political or economic issues, the entertainer was forced to speak out because of a critically ill man on Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos who was ignored by passersby because they were afraid of being convicted of hit and run.
The man was also said to have been ignored by military officials and policemen who were supposed to uphold the law.
“Four Military men passed on “Okadas” and said “Eeeyah” and moved on. The police passed by with sirens and shook their heads. They didn’t stop. A LASTMA official on a bike stopped. He didn’t have a vehicle so he called his bosses who told him “they” were not coming. I was stunned,” the post revealed.
The source added that by the time police came, they allegedly refused to carry the dying man in the ‘new’ car provided by the Lagos State government.
“Then came a policeman with the new vehicles given by Ambode and he called his bosses who instructed him not to carry the guy in the “new” car. It wasn’t to be stained with blood. I broke down in tears at this point. The reality was that the new police car was worth more than the Nigerian life.”
Thankfully an ambulance from the Gbagada General Hospital arrived just in time to help the situation.
“What kind of law endangers the life of innocent victims because of the inability of the police to do proper investigation?” Lepacious Bose wrote.
The entertainer has been in the news lately for her staggering reduction in weight over the year.
