According to the twitter user who
shared these pictures this evening, this young man was allegedly assaulted on his way back from work by policemen attached to Oworoshoki division. Read
full story after the cut..
As written by a witness...
4 policemen attached to the
Oworonshoki
division assaulted this
young man few hours ago on his way
back from work. This took place around New garage/Oworo area of Lagos State.
According to him he was walking home and walked past the front of a police vehicle to get to the other side of the road (This wasn't a restricted area). Just
as he was crossing over, the policemen sorrounded him and gave him a proper
beatdown, they even hit him several
times with their guns while passersby looked on.
After the beating they threw him inside their vehicle and asked for money. They searched his wallet for money, but they saw his ID card and realised that he works with @coolfmlagos 's #CafeRoyal. At this point, for the gazillion time he
asked them why he was dealt with that way and all the policemen could say was "we think say you be agbero, u know say
election na Saturday, u no for cross our motor like that"... Long story cut short, this youngman informed them that the owners of Cafe royal own cool fm and her sister stations, he went on to tell them that he'd report the case to the
management so that the presenters
could talk about it and maybe get him some justice. This resulted in begging on the side of the policemen and with that they let him go.
I felt really bad for this young man
because he looked worse than the
picture says. He narrated his
experienced with a broken body and
spirit.
From illegal killings to assault on
innocent citizens of Nigeria, some
members of the police force have
proved that they don't understand their job description or simply choose to neglect it. Some of them get away with these things... This shouldn't continue.
Pls kindly repost this and tag relevant people so that this case will be investigated and the young man could get some justice to soothe his aching body and spirit.
