Nigerian Man Pulls Gun On VIO Officers During Roadside Clash In Abuja [Video]

A video making rounds on social media shows a heated argument between a civilian and an official of the Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO) in Abuja.

In the viral video, the man is seen holding onto the officer’s vest while they argue beside a silver car with a “GTA” plate number.

The situation became more serious when the man pulled out what looked like a gun.

Although no shots were fired, it is still not clear if the weapon was real or loaded.
