Men of the Nigeria Police Force have been caught on tape assaulting a lady in Lagos because she was filming them during an alleged assault on a commercial driver.
According to Sahara Reporters, the police officers are attached to the palace at Illasan, Lekki Phase 1 area of the state.
A Twitter user who shared a video of the policemen manhandling the woman, said she attempted to film them during a conversation with a commercial driver.
A security personnel could be seen holding her by her hair while his colleagues and some other citizens tried to intervene.
The concerned social media user questioned the police authorities to know if the lady was eventually released by the officers that arrested her.
He wrote; “@Gidi_Traffic Last week police men guarding the palace at Illasan, Lekki Phase 1, allegedly assaulted a lady for attempting to record them during a confrontation with a Uber driver. The lady’s phone was seized and she was also arrested. Has she been freed? @BenHundeyin @Princemoye1”
In reaction to the video, the Force Spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the state command should investigate all information relating to the incident.
“Well, Ben will need to investigate this and take necessary action. We will need to get more facts about this scene as the video is not long enough to deduce some things. PPRO Lag should detail the PCB to look into this and revert. It has been sent to necessary units to handle,” the state PPRO said.
