Heartwarming Act: Lagos Police Gift Petrol to Driver Stranded at Night
The Lagos State Police Command has received commendations from Nigerians for assisting a stranded woman whose vehicle ran out of fuel around 4 a.m. on January 6, 2025. The officers provided her with 5 liters of petrol, enabling her to continue her journey safely.
This act of kindness highlights the positive role law enforcement can play in assisting citizens in distress. Similar incidents have occurred in Lagos, where police officers have come to the aid of stranded motorists.
For instance, in December 2016, officers assisted a female motorist whose car had broken down on the Lekki Link Bridge around 4 a.m., providing her with petrol to restart her vehicle.
These instances demonstrate the commitment of some members of the Lagos police force to public service and community assistance.
