Rasaq Adams (pictured above) is claiming he was brutalized by the men of the Nigerian police force for no reason. According to his own version of events, on Monday March 31st, he and his friends were somewhere in their neighbourhood at Oredehin Street, off Oshodi Road, Oshodi, Lagos, late at night gisting when police officers from Akinpelu police station saw them and without provocation, started throwing chairs and bottles at them and attempted to raid them. He claims he and friends ran to their various houses to escape the policemen but some pursued him to his house and broke his door as he attempted to lock it. (He sent in a pic of his broken door). He claims he was badly beaten by the police officers and later taken to the police station at Akinpelu Street in Oshodi where he stayed till the following morning when some of neighbours who heard what had happened stormed the station effect to his release.
Rasaq, who said he was outside his home with his friends (some of whom were also arrested) around 12am receiving breeze because there was no light and the house was hot, now wants to sue the Nigerian police for Police Brutality. Continue...

ReplyDeleteMr Adams pls sue them, dont let any one talk you out of it. That's why they are. Always doing this rubbish, sue them all.
ReplyDeleteThis is devious,the human right record of the police keeps getting worse.When has it become a crime to sit in front of one's house at night?I am aware of this story and know Razak.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it majority of mentally deranged people dat we hv as our police officers in dis country biko kwanu? Just 4 notin, dey attack pple 4 no just reason.

ReplyDeleteBros get a good lawyer...this your carpenter letter no go work ooo
ReplyDeleteOk... about time
ReplyDeleteThis ιƨ a pure abuse! They deserve to be sued.
ReplyDeleterazak you have great skin by the way. Ok i am not saying the police typically do their work but a lot of youngins are so rude and play rambo when they get stopped. Why not let the cops act a fool, have a friend secretly vidoe tape if possible and send to fashola. doing strong head with a possibly broke frustrated cop is not the best strategy
ReplyDeleteWhen will Nigerian uniform men stop bulling their masses???!!!
ReplyDeleteNa BH we go fear. Now or na police.
ReplyDeleteI could remember vividly in abroad dat wen such sitaution occurs, d cops wil walk up to d pple and ask wot dey re doing out late in an isolated corner! And if dey were able to provide a good answer wit proof of being a residents in dat neighbourhood, dey'l just escort dem to their various compound! But d reverse is d case in our country, god help us and make us a little civlized! Amen! Meanwhile, I pray dis guy ave some core pple in d society to help him wit dis case, cos dogs don't eat dogs( I can't say more than dat o)
ReplyDeleteThis is very bad... Nigerian Police God punish Una
ReplyDeleteThese security men dey crazy,
ReplyDeleteThese security men dey crazy,sorry man.
ReplyDeleteIt is very unfortunate that the Nigerian police human rights record is still nose-diving.I am ware of this case.Too bad for the bad eggs in the police. This police station is notorious for picking up people at night and accuse them of wandering even when there is no offence called wandering in our law books
ReplyDeleteI am aware of this particular case.This police station is notorious for picking up people and accusing of wandering even when there is no offence called wandering
ReplyDelete.
Stupid Nigeria police ! What kind of human beings are uuuuuuuuuuu
ReplyDeleteThe question we the public need to ask is. ' what does the law prescribe as d punishment for police brutality? Is there even a law?. Or is it one of those topics where the IG would set up a committee to 'look into it' and ' recommend bla bla. ..' to him, and d matter would end there.
ReplyDeletePersonally I think the police and the public need to know the penalty for brutality, d same way they said 14 years for gays.
What is the penalty for policemen slapping, flogging and ill treating innocent civilians at will, just because they wear a uniform and hv guns?
And to think they are meant to protect us
ReplyDeleteOmo dis guy ouse, e get as e bi oo
ReplyDeleteI don't think they were just receiving breeze like he claimed,i think they were with Mary Jane cos i can see it in his eyes. I never like the way the NPF carry out their duties,they behave so uncivilised,i hate them with so much passion. If he's sure he has not defaulted the law in anyway then he carry-on else he should just back out. Mary Jane aways and will always need kisses.
ReplyDeletePolice dey do dat all d tym is just dat no one has got d guts 2 speak out I hope dey listen 2 u if not dey acuse of a much bigger tin u don't expect. One of d criterias in joining d police is 2 b a good liar, u av 2 b very good at it. So dear I wish u d best
ReplyDeleteGuy sue them. But I know that door is not for ur security.
ReplyDeleteD door though n his letter...lol, the guy sure need to go back to school.
ReplyDeleteGood job! he should sue them maybe they would start acting right!
