The government has advised motorists to cooperate with law enforcement agents and avoid obstructing the Presidential motorcade.
The government said that two incidents of obstructing the motorcade belonging to the Head of State have been noted in the last seven days, endangering the President’s life.
In a statement on social media site Twitter, the Ministry of Information and Publicity said:
In the last week, there have been two incidents where two motorists have obstructed the presidential motorcade, therefore, endangering the principal, the public, the escorting security and themselves.
May we encourage commuting motorists to cooperate with the law enforcement support team.
The statement follows a video circulating on social media showing a member of the president’s security crushing a motorist’s car window and apparently beating up the driver in the process.
A woman who recorded the video is heard telling her colleague that the motorist did nothing wrong, while the other voice insists that he wouldn’t be beaten if he had done nothing wrong. She concludes by remarking that she does not like the current administration.
