The officers cuffed the man to the door of their
moving van and dragged him along the road as they drove in Sopkonba
junction, Benin City.
We came across the story after a Facebook user, Irabor Franklyn, shared the story on his page.
Edo state police officers cuffed a man to their van and dragged him along the road
According to Franklyn, the officers brutalized him and his friends after they tried to plead with them to leave the man alone.
He wrote:
“I AND SO MANY OTHERS WERE BRUTALIZED BY MEN OF
NIGERIA POLICE FORCE ESIGE DIVISION. JUST BECAUSE WE PLEADED WITH THEM
NOT TO DRAG A YOUNG MAN CHAINED TO THE BACK OF THEIR HILUX VAN ALONG THE
ROAD. THIS HAPPENED ON MORNING SUNDAY MAY 15TH 2017 BETWEEN 1ST EAST
CIRCULAR ROAD AND SOPKONBA ROAD JUNCTION, BENIN CITY. # PLEASE I NEED
JUSTICE #.”
