Allegations of police brutality have ignited widespread outrage after a woman using the handle #torty_mercy on X recounted how her brother was assaulted by a police officer near Wuse Market in Abuja.
In her post, she claimed the incident occurred on Sunday as her brother was on his way home from church when he was allegedly attacked without provocation.
In the video she shared on Sunday, her brother said,
“I’m just coming back from church at Wuse Market receiving a very big police assault. A policeman flogged me for over 30 minutes with a very big stick and I have injury on my leg, I can’t do anything, I can’t run.
“People gathered, without me involved in the matter, just a passenger in the vehicle. This is police headquarters, I came to lay complaint. Bruises are all over my body.”
Further explaining the incident, #torty_mercy wrote,
“Nigerian Police has done it again! My brother was coming back from church, driver packed along Wuse Market junction, opposite Zenith Bank, a police officer approached the driver as he was about to move and started dragging the steering with him, people in the vehicle started pleading, this guy left the steering, came round the vehicle and spat on my brother sitting by the window unprovoked!
“My brother came down to ask him what he did to him, this guy carried a stick and started hitting him, his colleagues were asking him to stop but did absolutely nothing to stop or restrain him, instead they were asking my brother to run, someone who recently had an accident and can’t even walk fast.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
