While the search was on, the passenger in my vehicle took to his heels. “The policemen then pounced on me despite my cry that they should tell me what my offence is. “They handcuffed me to their vehicle and started dragging me along after giving me the beating of my life, while onlookers were wailing, demanding to know from them what my offence was.
“It was at a private hospital that I regained consciousness. I enquired from the hospital staff who brought me there and chained me to the bed and was told officers from Esigie Police Station. “Meanwhile, the N3,000 that I had on me and my handset were removed and have not been returned to me.

Everyone will quickly believe this guy and condemn the Nigerian police without waiting to hear the police perspective of what transpired between them and the young man but if it were a woman who just got beaten by her husband this same people will want to hear from the wife beater.
