Mr. Abu pictured above said he was attacked by a VIO official for trying to capture a fight between one of the officers and a road user. Abu claimed they struck him on the nose and mouth after he refused to allow him seize his camera. He wrote;
I was trying to capture a video of a man fighting with a VIO staff and one of the VIO staff saw me from afar and crossed over to the other side where I was standing. He attempted to seize the phone and I refused, in the process of resisting him from dragging my phone. I got two blows on my mouth and nose.
Not because am physically weak and can not fight but my profession does not permit me to so do.
Am taking recourse to the law and I hope to find justice, and most importantly, to deter them from further harassing innocent citizens.
