Taye Shittu got a shocker when was arrested on Wednesday, March 5, 2014 by the police at Pen Cinema Police Station, Agege, for the crime he usually gets away with.

P.M.NEWS investigation revealed that
Shittu accused Mrs. Abimbola of not obeying the traffic light and
ordered her to come out of her car.
She was said to have obeyed Shittu’s
instruction after which there was an argument between them. During the
argument Shittu was said to have slapped Mrs. Abimbola and she sustained
injury on her face.
The victim reported the assault at Pen Cinema Police Station and Shittu was promptly arrested by the police.
While confirming the incident, Lagos
State Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Damatus Ozoani, said
the accused will be charged to court after the conclusion of police
investigation.
An official of LASTMA who craved for anonymity, said the attitude of Shittu was an embarrassment to the authority.
A senior official of LASTMA who
pleaded for anonymity also told P.M.NEWS that Shittu has been tried
internally and was subsequently dismissed from LASTMA and handed over
back to the police for prosecution.
“We have conducted a board room trial
for him and he has been dismissed from the service. We have also handed
him over back to the police for prosecution. We do not condone such act
in LASTMA,’’ said the source.
As a result of the
incident, P.M.NEWS learnt that the court Mrs. Abimbola is presiding over
could not sit yesterday as litigants had to take adjourment for their
cases.
When P.M.NEWS visited Pen Cinema Police Station this morning, Shittu was seen in handcuffs being taken to court by the police.
Attempts by our reporter to speak with Shittu proved futile as he refused to talk and also hid his face from camera.

ReplyDeleteIts not the fault of LASTMA, I blame Lagos government for not checking these people psychologically before giving them uniform. All the Lagos state uniformed men are touts, I am sorry to say this but it is true. Because they gave an agbero uniform to wear, he or she starts misbehaving.
ReplyDeleteThat Shittu of a guy should be jailed so that other LASTMA officials will learn their lesson
