Man arrested during interview
Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have been caught redhanded brutalizing a protester at the Lekki Tollgate on Wednesday.
The protesting who was granting an interview to journalists was hit on the head and arrested by the police today.
The protester, who claimed to have flown in from Canada was shocked at the incident and couldn't believe it.
Speaking before he was arrested, the protester said: “I flew in from Canada and I told the Nigerian government that the police were underpaid and a time will come when we will overwhelm the police.”
While he was speaking, some police officers approached him and their leader ordered his arrest.
In an attempt to protest, the police officers who were shouting “arrest this man, arrest the idiot” pounced on him and dragged him away.
Nigerians set today, Wednesday, aside to remember the Lekki tollgate shooting in the State last year.
