A Lagos Disc Jockey, simply identified as, vdj_muse, has alleged that he was assaulted by a policeman during a stop and search in the Ikeja area of Lagos State.

The DJ via his Instagram page said the policeman asked him to unlock his phone and show him a “hangout app” which he didn’t have on his phone.

Vdj_muse further said that the policeman punched him hard on his face even after he obeyed and submitted his phone for search.

He said, “after going through my gallery, apps, text messages and couldn’t find anything, he then walked up to me and said take your phone and leave here right now”.

The DJ with over 37.5k followers also posted some photos showing his swollen face.

“A policeman stopped me yesterday around 6:30pm at Ikeja, I patiently stopped and he asked for my ID card which I showed him, he then asked for what i do for a living I told him I’m a Dj, I showed him evidence to prove I’m a Dj.

“Now to the matter why I was punched, He told me to unlock my phone and show him my hangout app if I don’t want him to harm me, I was like Sir, I don’t have this application on my phone.

“He looked at me and smiled, he said “young man respect yourself and open the application now” I unlocked my phone and gave it to him to search for it if he thinks I’m lying, before a twinkle of an eye I received a HEAVY PUNCH on my face which affected my right eye.

He searched my phone for like 10mins leaving me in a critical condition, I was speechless and couldn’t do anything coz he was with a GUN and I don’t want wahala.

After going through my gallery, apps, text messages and couldn’t find anything, he then walked up to me and said take your phone and leave here right now.

Ordinary sorry was too heavy for him to say, I left without uttering anything. So we can’t move freely any more in this Country??”
