Police arrest officers caught on video brutalising motorcyclist

The police officers captured on a video brutalising a commercial motorcyclist in the Abule Egba area of Lagos have been identified and “detained.”

The police spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, made this known on PREMIUM TIMES Twitter Spaces on Wednesday. He said he was informed of their arrest by the Lagos police commissioner.

He spoke on the programme, which, on Wednesday evening, focussed on “Nigerian police officers as perpetrators, victims of harassment.”

The viral video shared on Twitter on Wednesday showed the moment three police officers were assaulting the young man.

While one of them hit him with what appeared to be a metal rod, another pushed him to forcefully take away his motorcycle.
