Lagos Officials Assault Couple, Groomsmen On Wedding Day | Sahara Reporters

What was supposed to be the happiest day in the life of a new couple turned into a day of sorrow after operatives of Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps with assistance of some officials of Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps beat up the groom, bride, friends at a wedding ceremony at Federal Marriage Registry, Ikoyi, Lagos, on Thursday, February 20, 2020.

Upon arrival of the couple and groomsmen to explain that they were parked by local government officials, LAGESC and LNSC officers alleged that they were being filmed and started beating all persons holding smartphones including the couple and groomsmen. In a bid to cover up their nefarious act, the LAGESC officials arrested a friend of the groom, Shola Osolo, and whisked him to their headquarters in Oshodi where he was promptly arraigned for assaulting some officers. Osolo explained that one of them called others to come around and on getting to the scene, began to beat him and others.

“When the magistrate arrived, I pleaded not guilty and the magistrate admitted me on bail and I was released the following day.

Impunity everywhere
