Reacting to this, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin on Twitter wrote, “35 mins and just 7 retweets. Flip this, let it be a police van involved in hit and run and watch the retweets increase exponentially.
“Same way the many daily good deeds of the police are shunned, giving the false impression it’s all about negativity and mediocrity.”
