Lagos policemen torture PUNCH journalists for covering EndSARS protests

No fewer than 20 policemen guarding the Lagos State House of Assembly in the Alausa area of the state brutalised twojournalists, Femi Dawodu and Segun Odunayo, while covering the #EndSARS activities in the area on Wednesday.

Dawodu and Odunayo had gone to cover events around the Alausa area, a major demonstration ground of the #EndSARS protesters calling for a total overhaul of the Nigeria Police Force.gathered that the duo was recording a live video of the activities in the area when the policemen accosted them and ordered them to stop the recording.

Odunayo said the policemen tortured them for four hours, adding that they stripped them of their clothes, laid them on the floor, beat them with a stick and guns, and took a video recording of them while torturing them at the Lagos State House of Assembly. “What got the policemen annoyed was that we saw them using a stick and a rubber to beat a young man and during the live video, they heard me saying that they were beating someone. So, after they arrested us, they tortured us and demanded that we should do another live video denying the statement but we refused.

God's Judgement is here to stay on all unrighteousness in Nigeria. NIGERIA is the African version of the ancient and modern Isreal. Our bloods cannot be spilled in vain.

Allegedly

Nigerian Police & soldiers have become so rotten over d years that their personnel have lost their senses &now act so inhumanely, & rabidly. They've turned d country to a place more like a zoo, &with them being d lion in d zoo, tormenting, killing & using other animals for food.

This is not true It's 'alleged', the police only shot in the air to chase away the journalist

Nigeria is finished.

Odeh sheybi bfr you no wan soro soke . You are use to posting fake news ,this might be fake too

In strong terms,we condemn totally attack on journalists in any form.Enough should be Enough

So who is reforming who now? Stop Brutality that is part of the EndSARS is still making Headlines days after PMB assured to address the demands of the Peaceful Protesters. eWow! Pele o Aburo mi Journalist. Count yourself lucky to be alive.
