Isaac Fayoade, brother of former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, confronted a minister for driving against traffic on a one-way lane in the Maitama area of Abuja.
The incident is believed to have happened on Wednesday night.
However, the identity of the minister was not revealed.
In a video making the rounds on social media, Fayose instructed the policemen on duty to send the defaulting minister back, urging them to exercise their authority.
He was heard saying: “Send them back, you are authority, they are not authority.
“Even if you are a minister, go back. If you are driving a minister, is this the country you people want?
“Go back now, DPO is talking to you, enter your car and go back now.”
Fayose’s action has generated diverse reactions on social media, with many people praising him for the rare action.
