The policeman who was caught in a viral video shooting into a moving vehicle conveying a family has been arrested, The Nation learnt Wednesday.
Narrating what transpired in the video, Oyewole wrote that the unnamed policeman fired at the family’s vehicle and shattered the back windscreen because they refused to offer bribe.“A police officer as seen in the video shot a car, broke the glass of a car because they refused to offer bribe, despite seeing that it was a family man, with the wife and kids,” he captioned the video.
