A group of LASTMA officials who attempted to seize a tricycle has caused its owner to strip bare.
In order to prevent officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) from seizing his tricycle, a 'Keke' owner stripped naked, making a spectacle of himself in Ikeja, Lagos.
A footage showed the unidentified man pacing angrily but that didn't stop the group of LASTMA representatives from carting away the tricycle.
They were seen raiding the 'Keke' while a crowd of onlookers watched in shock.
Two pedestrians who appeared like passengers were captured in the clip appealing to officials in a hope to get pardon for the driver.
While it seemed that the officers were only executing their duties, it hasn't always been good reports concerning the yellow and wine uniformed men.
