”When people still ask why #EndSARS had to happen, this is part of it. The Nigerian police will beat up a person senseless for being rude and then turn round to expect public sympathy. It’s not going to happen.”

”The Enugu State Police Command has begun investigation into this incident with a view to identify and sanction the operatives involved.”
