A video making the rounds on social media captured the moment a driver made some bribe-seeking police officers run for their lives in Badagry, Lagos.

A video making the rounds on social media captured the terrifying moment numerous cops drew guns on a young Black man and his 90-year-old grandmother.
The younh Black man was visibly scared as several Texas cops pulled guns on him and repeatedly screamed, “Show me your hands” even though he was already showing them his hands.
The incident happened on May 16 in Midland, Texas, is going viral now following the sad event of George Floyd’s death after a cop knelt on his neck for almost 9 minutes in Minneapolis.
The young man’s name is Tye Anders and the video shows him get out of his car after pulling into his driveway. He immediately puts his hands up and begins repeatedly asking the police why they stopped him. They told him he ran a stop sign and started shouting for him to put his hands up though his hands were up already.
At some point, Tye’s family and neighbors are heard telling the cops that their actions are making Tye scared for his life.
“I’m scared,” Tye screamed as the cops aimed at him as though he had committed a major crime.
Tye even dropped to his knees and laid on his stomach with his hands out yet the cops kept screaming orders at him, making him panic and cry in fear.
His 90-year-old grandmother later comes out and tries to protect her grandson.
Tye was ultimately arrested for evading arrest, however, the video evidence has sparked controversy in Midland and officials held a town hall meeting on Thursday, May 28, to address it.
There’s a popular quote which says ”Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” and that has been proven in a recent shocking video making the rounds on social media.

Nigerian Singer cum politician, Banky W has commented on the recent spate of sad events which has happened in the United States and Nigeria in the last few days.
The singer revealed that he is exhausted of the sad news of people being killed every day in the country.
Yesterday, May 28, 2020, stories about killings in Southern Kaduna graced newspaper front pages and made countless mass media headlines.

So much darkness. So much violence and hatred. We’ve heard of people being killed so much, we’ve become numb to it. Different day, different victims, same story, same hashtags. “Thoughts and Prayers for… (insert victim or city name here). #BlackLivesMatter #RIPGeorgeFloyd
This world is exhausting. In America, it’s racism – white cops killing unarmed black people. In Nigeria, where we share the same skin colour, it’s tribalism & genocide. Every other week there’s another story of mass murder; Kaduna today, Jos tomorrow. So much hatred. I am tired
#DontJustTweet Be a part of something that is bigger than yourself.. something that means more than your personal chase for success. Volunteer/Donate/Serve… somewhere/someone/anywhere/anyone in need. Play your part in putting some good back in this world. Tweets are not enough.

“Their father, Mr. Anayochukwu Njoku, was helping his late wife in her tailoring shop to earn a living to support their poor family of six before the arrival of the conjoined twins, after he lost his job two years ago as a driver.
“By the special grace of God, as soon as the case got to the desk of Governor Hope Uzodimma, he gave an urgent directive for the twins to be brought to the Foundation for their adequate welfare and survival.
“So currently, we are reaching out to quickly get their surgery done so that they can begin to live a better life. Chukwuma said that in spite of the assistance from the state government, there was the need to go beyond government.
“We need to reach out to organisations, individuals that are public spirited to come to our aid in addition to what the government is doing for us.”
