It would be recalled that Oseni recently made headlines over his row with the police after he drove through the designated lane for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) buses in Lagos.
The journalist had alleged that a policeman pointed a gun at him before impounding his vehicle. A video of his heated face-off with the security operatives also surfaced on social media, and sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians.
He was later fined N70,000 for violating the Lagos State Transport Law 2018, and his vehicle was released to him.
After the traffic infraction drama was over, Oseni took to live television to apologise to all parties involved, saying he has learnt his lessons.
