SaharaReporters learnt on Sunday that the Ketu Divisional Police Officer and some of his men had been queried by the police authorities and would be reporting to the office of Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, FCIID, Alagbon, Ikoyi, Lagos, on Monday.

An Uber driver, David Solomon Adoyi, is currently writhing in pain after policemen from the Ketu Police Division, Lagos State, caused an accident that chopped his left hand off during an attempt to extort money from him.

He said, “I was stopped by the Ketu Divisional Police headquarters at exactly 6:30am on Monday morning. A policeman said I should park and I did. I told him I was an Uber driver, and he said where was my driver’s licence. I showed it to him, my vehicle papers; I showed to him, he then said my road worthiness I showed to him.

“Lo and behold, he discharged my passengers, got into the car and said I should come in. in the process of the back-and-forth, an oncoming vehicle with speed – despite the other policeman stopping him – refused to stop and rammed into my hand and the car door. It cut off my fingers. I was shouting, help, help. I was rushed to the Lagos State Emergency Centre by 7up bottling company by Tollgate with the fingers, after the stiches; I was referred to the general hospital, Ikorodu.
