Online fight between AriseTV presenter and Lagos Police (Who is right?)

Rufai Oseni is a presenter with Arise Television and Benjamin Hundeyin is the public relations officer of the Lagos State Police Command.

It all started with Oseni Rufai’s tweet below. Please read carefully and drop your comments below

In ketu today,thieves raided stole brain boxes of over 40 cars and stole from people. We can’t provide basic security in a mega city.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin @BenHundeyin

Over 40 brain boxes, one day, one area?

I have contacted both DPOs in Ketu and Alapere and I can confirm that there is no such report.

I do not want to believe you’re spreading fake news. So I challenge you to mention the street.

We are waiting…

oseni rufai @ruffydfire

Salami Giwa, CAC street and Ladipo street

SP Benjamin Hundeyin @BenHundeyin

Thanks for the feedback. I will run a check now.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin @BenHundeyin

Three weeks ago, on a gated street in Alapere, one vehicle was harvested for parts. One suspect was later arrested and case in court.

Since then, not one incident. So how did you come about 40 brain boxes removed today?

oseni rufai @ruffydfire

Are you saying that nothing happened on Salami Giwa street,CAC and Ladipo in Surulere today.Kindly check properly.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin @BenHundeyin

😂 I don check, nothing. Please send one Arise news crew there to interview residents. Maybe my people are lying to me. 🤷‍♂️

@BenHundeyin kindly look into the matter.

I reported something, the spokesman said he called the DPO nothing happened but before then he challenged my fact now I have mentioned the street and showed them one car affected.I just want to do my best for people but I don’t know why they politicize everything.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin @BenHundeyin
A volunteer just came back from all streets mentioned. He interviewed residents. One Corolla was vandalized (not reported to the Police). This is in addition to the report from the DPO debunking your claim.

So where exactly were 40 brain boxes removed today?

oseni rufai @ruffydfire
At first the police spokesman denied it and said his DPO said nothing happened in Ketu and now he said he sent a volunteer and they said one car was damaged. I thought the spokesman said nothing happened before.I rest my case.Nigeria na wa. He sent a volunteer not police ooo

SP Benjamin Hundeyin @BenHundeyin
No. Don’t change the narrative. You claimed 40 cars were vandalized today. The DPO said nothing of such was reported. A resident in the area volunteered to check and reported one vandalized vehicle which was not reported.
