In a 27-second viral video that surfaced online on Thursday, the Public Response Safety Team officer was seen trying to stop the vehicle by dragging the steering wheel with the driver.

The passengers in the car were heard begging the driver to stop while also pleading with the PRST official to stop dragging the steering wheel with the driver as their lives were in danger.

However, the officer said the driver was taking him away.

However, Okungbowa said that the officers‘ approach was wrong while noting that they were not enemies of the drivers.

He said, „First of all, I want to apologise to the general public for our officer‘s conduct in that viral video. There is no perfect society, and the person who erred in that video has been sacked to deter every commission member.

„I wish to tell the drivers that we are not their enemies but their friends. We aim to do what is right by ensuring order in Edo State, especially Benin City.

„The drivers know where they are supposed to stop, where they don‘t have to stop and where to pick up passengers and drop them off.

„We are tired of having this conflict with the drivers every time. I have been doing this job with the officers here during the previous administration. I am appealing to the public to report any erring officer to the commission. I can‘t be everywhere simultaneously, but I want you to know that I can‘t be anywhere.

„Going by what transpired on Wednesday, nobody is talking about the wrong done by the driver. He took the officer from his beat to an unknown destination. He resulted in self-help but did it wrong, so we condemn his action in all ramifications.“
