PM News reports that the incident happened on Thursday, October 22 when Onwuantudo sent the company driver to deliver a container to a customer at Igboba Street off Alahun Street, Osunba Estate, Monkey Village in the Mazamaza, area of the state.
He said: “I sent my company driver, Ikechukwu Umeh with a truck with registration number MUS 797 XL to deliver a container to a customer in the area. About one hour later, the driver called me to say that on his way back the empty container he was carrying cut an electric cable on the street. I quickly raced to the scene to pay for the fixing of the wire. As we made to leave the scene, my driver told me that a resident in the area who claimed to be the chief security officer in the area seized his ignition key when the incident occurred.
“I politely approached the man to release my vehicle key, but the next thing the man did was to order about seven thugs to deal with me and they descended on me with their guns and shot in the air to scare residents away from rescuing me.
“They later dragged me into a drainage full of smelly water to lie inside amid torture. Residents on the street who could not bear the torture anymore forcefully rescued me from the hands of the man and his gangs and rushed me to the nearest hospital for treatment.
“The man later told me to go and report the case to anybody and that since he is the chief security officer in charge of Osunba Estate, Monkey Village, Mile 2, Lagos nobody can do anything to him. I am now appealing to the Inspector General of Police and the Commissioner of Police Lagos State Command to assist me to recover my truck from this man and his gangs because with the seizure of the truck, my company is losing N150,000 every day.
“I am also appealing to the authorities concerned to arrest the man and his gangs and make them to face prosecution.”
In a related case of brutality, two policemen in Ogun state were accused of beating and bashing the head of a student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic.
