violently protested the alleged killing of one Mr Joshua
Sewuji by an unidentified policeman from the Badagry
Police Division.
The News
Agency of
Nigeria (NAN)
reports that
protesters
resorted to
damaging and
burning police
posts and tyres
on the roads to
prevent easy
movement
around the
town.
The protesting
youths carried
different
placards some
of which read:
“Enough is
Enough of This Police Brutality’’, “We Are Tired of Police
Killing People’’ and “No More Extortion From the Police’’
among others.
NAN reports that some police traffic wardens were also
assaulted by the irate youths.
It took the timely intervention of the Nigerian Army from
Topo and Ibereko Barracks to prevent the violence from
escalating.
Soldiers were placed at different strategic locations in the
town to prevent further breakdown of law and order.
A NAN correspondent covering the protest learnt that the
incident happened near the palace of the Akran of
Badagry at about 10 p.m. on Thursday (Dec. 3).
