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.
