According to Clement, police officers were firing shots while he was at the Tollgate and he was left with no choice but to run out of his car and join others who ran to avoid being shot at.
Coming back to the scene while the gunshots had died down, he realised they had seized his car as he pleaded with the officers, who continued to oppress him and brutally dragged him to their van.
The brutalized driver has taken to social media to cry for help concerning his confiscated car as that is his only means of livelihood.
