However, the Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin countered him.
Replying to Rufai’s tweet, Hundeyin said the co-host of the Morning Show on Arise Tv disobeyed and resisted the officers after driving through a BRT lane.
He wrote, “Rufai, let’s not do this. You admitted to me that you passed a BRT lane. It’s against the law. Your claim that google maps took you there is not tenable. You disobeyed and resisted the officers. We’ll sanction the officer who misused firearm if proven.”
