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.

  26. 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.

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

  40. 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
