Police officers forced me to take off my bra, arrested EndSARS protester says
One of the arrested EndSARS protesters, Treasure Nduka, has said that she was forced her to take off her bra by police officers who beat her up.
Nduka who was arrested in Lagos told The Cable that she was labelled a criminal by the police officers at the Ojuelegba station where she was taken to.
She also accused them of shooting at protesters.
She said:
“At first, it was empowering seeing that a couple of youths were able to make that much impact and at a point, those that were stuck in traffic joined us in the protest. They came down to sympathise with us. It was really peaceful at the beginning. We didn’t know it was going to the extent of police shooting at us,” Nduka said.
“When the shooting started, I refused to believe that they were shooting. It sounded like a knockout. We heard the first one from afar and we saw people running, but I insisted that we should take our stand. I was not doing anything wrong, so I didn’t feel the need to run. All of a sudden, I saw a bunch of policemen come out and then I realised that this is actually for real.
“I did not know who to reach out. The only people who were aware were brothers who had told me not to come out. I saw a policeman running towards me. He dragged me and I was calling out for people to do something. A bunch of other policemen assisted him in dragging me. I was helpless. It was me against 10 0f them. They kept hitting me. I only tried to cover my face so that I don’t get hit on the face. I could not place an identity on any of them because it was all of them present at that point.
“They said I should pull off my bra. Then, I took off my bra. Everything they did was so unconstitutional.”
