Reacting to the incident, Olusegun Ogungbemide, corps public education officer, said the corps marshal, also ordered the prosecution of the lady, who assaulted the FRSC official.

He said the incident happened on November 7 along the Lekki-Epe expressway of Lagos state.

“The report of the assault case which was recorded on 7 November 2024 along Oko-Ado, Lekki Epe expressway within the Lekki Unit Command general operations area, in Lagos state, revealed that at about 1554hrs, the patrol team flagged a Toyota Corolla with vehicle Registration number EPE690HH for seatbelt violation,” the statement reads.

“At request of the vehicle papers, it was discovered that the papers had expired since December 2022 which prompted the impoundment of the vehicle.

“While the driver of the vehicle who contravened the law did not resist arrest, a particular lady who happened to be a passenger in the same vehicle became provocative, verbally assaulted the arresting marshal and threatened to prosecute them for doing their job.

“As if her threat was not enough, the lady went further to create a scene so as to conjure undeserving sympathy from other road users.

“When all of her antics did not play out, she opted on physical assault as could be seen in the attached video.

“She assaulted the personnel all the way from the point of arrest and refused to put an end to it even when the vehicle was finally impounded in the Lekki command.”
