A viral video shared on social media on Monday shows the
moment a police officer assaulted a man on the highway in Port Harcourt, Rivers
State,
In the video shared, the gun-totting police officer was seen
slapping and flogging the man.
The policeman was heard saying in Pidgin English language,
“waka dey go, I say waka dey go” while the man he was assaulting asks “Why you
dey flog me, I thief”
The man then collects the cane from the officer who then
proceeds to slap him twice on the face and orders him to walk to his car.
A second police officer is seen rough handling the man's
female companion.
Viewers have expressed outrage after watching the video and
are questioning why police brutality has not abated.
Watch the video below.
Reacting to the viral video, the spokesperson of the Nigeria
Police Force, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said it is unethical for a police officer
to flog someone. He added that irrespective of the man’s actions, he did not
deserve to be beaten ‘’like a baby.”
‘’Quite unfortunate. I have asked the Rivers State Command
to fish them out. This is unpolice, unethical, and condemned. Whatever the man
must have done, he doesn’t deserve this beating. Beating him like a baby?? A
grown-up man?. We will surely get the men.”
