A yet-to-identified officer with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has been shot and wounded by a security official in a police uniform.
The incident occurred while men of the FRSC were on an enforcement drive to implement the nationwide launch of the FRSC operation to combat the menace of fake number plates under the Lagos Sector Command.
The Sector Commander, Corps Commander Kehinde Hamzat, who was supervising the official launch, declined to speak specifically about this incident.
Hamzat, however, pleaded with journalists to be patient to enable him to get to the root cause of the unfortunate occurrence.
It is unclear if the security personnel is a member of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). Police authorities in Lagos have not also commented on the matter as of the time of this report.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Sector Command of the FRSC has suspended the nationwide launch of its operation to combat the menace of fake number plates.
Hamzat said this on Thursday while briefing journalists in Lagos on the outcome of day one of the enforcement. (Channels)
