(Video) Traffic enforcement takes shocking turn as police commander wields hammer
In a startling display of authority, a police commander in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), has sparked outrage after being captured on video using a hammer to enforce traffic rules, even resorting to damaging vehicles in the process.
The video, which has circulated widely on social media, depicts the commander wielding a hammer with a long handle, indiscriminately striking vehicles, including motorcycles and buses.
Shockingly, not even observing police officers were spared from his forceful actions.
Eyewitnesses report that the commander’s approach is aggressive and unwavering; he appears undeterred by pleas from motorists and bystanders. According to accounts, he is willing to destroy vehicles as a means of enforcing compliance with traffic regulations.
The shocking video of a police commander in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, using a hammer to enforce traffic rules has elicited strong reactions from netizens, both within the country and beyond. Here are some of the responses:
Rock: “We should try same in Ghana. Motor riders remove mirrors on bikes, ride without helmets, cars without roadworthy cert, no insurance and fire extinguishers. We go get them rough!”
Dave: “Make he come try this joke for Ghana here and see say e go survive daybreak.”
Babyface: “He hasn’t yet met his meter.”
These comments reflect a mix of frustration, defiance, and skepticism regarding the use of such aggressive tactics in traffic enforcement. While some express support for similar measures in their own countries, others doubt the commander’s ability to sustain his actions or question the effectiveness of his approach.
