Driver flogging FRSC officer viral video
A disturbing video has surfaced showing a driver flogging a Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officer during a traffic stop in Nigeria. The clip, now circulating widely on social media, appears to capture the moment the motorist brandished a whip and struck the uniformed officer, escalating what should have been a routine law enforcement engagement.
Reports from online news outlets describe the altercation as beginning after the driver accused the FRSC personnel of extortion. At some point in the confrontation, the driver stepped out of his vehicle and attacked the officer with a whip. Observers say the incident reignited public debate about the dynamics between motorists and road safety agencies.
As of now, the FRSC has not issued a public statement acknowledging or responding to the viral video. There is no confirmation yet of investigations, arrests, or disciplinary measures being taken in connection with the incident.
This viral incident raises serious questions about respect for law enforcement, the escalation of conflict at traffic stops, and the need for clear protocols to protect both officers and citizens during roadside enforcement.
