Adedotun Clement, the Uber driver who was assaulted by officers of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency (LSNA) during last Wednesday’s #ENDSARS anniversary rally, has demanded N500million compensation from the state government.
In a video that surfaced on social media, the officers who were members of the Lagos Neighborhood Security Corps (LNSC) were seen maltreating the driver despite identifying himself to the personnel during the rally.
In a letter addressed to the Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice through his lawyer, Inibene Effiong, on Friday, Clement demanded N500 million compensation from the state government for gross violation of his rights and deprivation of source of livelihood by its agents.
He asked the government to take disciplinary measures against the officers to serve as a deterrent to others.
The driver also threatened to sue the state government if his demands were not met.
The erring officers were suspended on Friday after they went through an orderly room trial for disreputable conduct.
They were also removed from the team and reassigned to another command of the agency where they will undergo behavioural assessment
