The said Ibrahim jumped down from the tricycle and started raising alarm that it was because of his looks that made the police stop the tricycle, his attempt at preventing the operatives from performing their duty by shouting attracted passersby while at the same time was recording the incident.

Anytime I ear say armed robber attack police, my pray is to have the news of many police man died by the armed rubber... Awon Oloriburuku Olopa

It's just sad, no freedom in this country

Nigeria police are poorly trained …how can they tell someone to come to the station with them…like the person have nothing to do…unbelievable

If true, our Police is still very sick!

When you support injustice to Nnamdi Kanu, u support injustice to everyone.

And I warn dis guy o make he do him agidi to the last eh he still reach station now story don change

Well, let the court decide. If he's proven right, he can claim damages.

The Nigerian Army cuts dreadlocks, afro, beard, and penciled trousers of commuters along Kano- Katsina road and charges N500 for their labour. If na naija, expect any abuse

Someone is lying here, most likely not this guy. The primary role of the Nigerian police is to lie.

My people make una read the article - the guy lied. He was charged to court for his action towards the police officers while they were trying to do their job, not because of his having dreadlocks.

Fucc it😌
