For clinging to his rights to use the ATM machine on a first-come-first-served basis, an unidentified man was brutally beaten by a policeman and other accomplices in Akure Ondo State on Friday.
A video posted by Instablog9ja showed how the man was beaten and dragged away by a uniformed Mobile Policeman and other men suspected to be his colleagues, not on uniform.
A gunshot was heard as the camera wobbles desperately.
Onlookers could be heard in the background begging the policeman to leave the man. While a woman was heard screaming that the fighters should not scatter her wares.
Reacting to the post on Instablog9ja, Nigerians condemned the act, some blaming the onlukers for not coming to the rescue of the man recieving the beating.
Detolbeauty said, “Every person using their position or power to oppress the helpless, God’s power will overshadow them iJn. Wicked people.”
Ccoccolicious said, “This is so unfair all in the name of their so called uniform, this police are suppose to protect lives and not tryna cheat or steal from people,they are way out of line and this really has to stop.”
Eyinju_tolu said, “Really hate seeing things like this. These police are useless set of pple. They don’t know most pple don’t regard them, they only fancy their uniform and the gun with them. I wish there was no gun and uniform with him. I’m sure what we would have as headline would be a police officer in ondo was beaten to stupor because he tried to jump queue.”
Handreyz simply said, “And they keep saying police is your friend.”
