Photos: Policemen allegedly assault young man returning from work
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.
What did he do? Did they just approached him And started beating him{allegedly} The twitter user should hv completed the Story or what resulted to the beating. Sorry man that's what dis election is causing.
Yes ooo Linda! I am that twitter user and the young man stays in the same house with my cousin. Here's a more comprehensive story that I also shared on Instagram.

Dirty Cops at it again But ish can be that Dude was prolly rude 2 them when they confronted him before the melee attack. Its still wrong though what they did 2 him.
We all need to be very careful ds time around, d same way a lady was slaughtered 2daiz ago at Halleluyah estate Osogbo Osun State. Just because she saw a friend out nd she no return again.
He crossed d front of their vehicle sounds pretty sketchy. D story is stil getting me in btw. All d same, speedy recovery. Next time pls avoid police path for police r not ur friends@all.
Hmmm! Those are not police. They are thugs infact they are criminals. Do u no what they called police in US? or in UK? or in Austria? Or in France? Police mean to protect every life and property of their citizen of their country. I said it hear before that the Nigeria police need to be reformed seriously speaking! The Nigeria police are not there to protect Nigerians life and property. They are there to robb u, meanwhile they said the Nigeria police force are there to protect life and property.
He should have begged o. They almost bullied me too o. I was driving and from behind me comes their vehicle, sirens blaring. I just they drive my own jejeh o. Then one of them in the rear winds down his finger and points his finger at me. NOTE : I Did nothing to warrant this warning. Obviously a result of baby oku 200 naira and monkey tail. Sad. I just waved a sorry gesture to them o and quietly drop'd my speed. So, they just bullied me with their uniform. Lol. Na wah. The police needs to change. Nigeria needs to change
What is actually wrong with the NPF? Why do they keep attacking innocent citizens instead of protecting them... This is why I feel no iota of pity for them whenever they're being killed#Wicked hearts
That is the trade mark of Nigerian police. Brutalising those they are supposed to protect.If the person dies, they would place a gun by his side and label him an armed robber and was trying to escape. Nigeria needs a change to correct all these.Tim28
This is unacceptable, wheneva I see a police van here in warri instinctively I wono put my hands up well above my head. I mean these guyz can be so jumpy and unpredictable
Linda thanks for sharing my comment as the witness report. I hope the case is investigated properly... He wants to sue them because he can identify the four of them...
Imagine d assault, y can't dey ask 4 his I'D b4 beating him? Dey r clueless n senseless, 1s dey r in der uniform, manners n sense as gone. I pity der children n grand children cos d curse dey v gathered 4 dem, only God can remove it o
Nigeria police men are animals, some of this police men need to be roasted like goat so that others can learn from it. Nigeria police men don't know their job.
