Share

An Uber Driver has been heavily beaten for hanging around the #EndSARS protest ground without actively participating in the march.

The driver who became a victim of the LagosState Police brutality was seen in a video where he was pathetically molested.

He was also attacked by the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps, LNSC, who joined forces with the police officers to brutalize the unsuspecting driver.

He was beaten up on Wednesday, 20, 2021, around the Lekki Toll Gate route, where he claimed to carry out his daily business rounds.

The victim, who resisted the attempts by the security operatives, repeatedly identified himself as a driver and presented his Uber application as evidence.

Police Pepper Spray, Teargas Uber Driver’s Face

Aside from the beating meted on the cab driver, the officers also applied pepper spray to his eyes and tear gas was put directly to his face on multiple occasions.

Although, he later managed to flee the scene of the battering, with a bloodied face and several other injuries sustained in the process.
