A video shared on Twitter by user @Naija_PR showed a police van involved in a car chase that ended up crushing a customer’s vehicle.
The incident was very unfortunate and happened because the police officers mistook a mechanic for an “internet fraudster.”
The video footage quickly went viral on social media. It showed the police van chasing a vehicle on a busy street.
During the chase, the police van collided with a parked car that belonged to a customer who had brought it to the mechanic’s workshop for repairs.
The police officers mistook the mechanic, who was test-driving the customer’s vehicle, for a suspect involved in fraudulent activities.
They believed they were pursuing a criminal and engaged in a high-speed chase that resulted in a collision with the innocent customer’s car.
