The Ondo State Police Command on Tuesday said it had arrested one of its men, who allegedly beat and injured a female student of the Federal University of Technology, Akure.

Some students of the institution were said to have had an encounter with some policemen attached to the ‘A’ Division Police Station, Akure, Ondo State capital, on Sunday night leading to one of them being injured by a policeman.

The identities of the victim and that of the policeman had not been revealed as of the time of filing this report. Video of the encounter had already gone viral on social media.

In the viral video, a young woman ( FUTA student) was seen with one of her eyes bleeding and she kept saying, “Look at my eyes.”

When contacted on the development, the Police Public Relations Officer Mr Femi Joseph, confirmed the incident and said the erring police officer had been arrested and would face trial.

Joseph, who declined to reveal the identity of the cop, however, explained that the matter involved two students, who were on a motorcycle and were drunk on Sunday night.

He said that the students refused to be checked by the policemen, who were on patrol.

He said, “The students were stopped by the policemen on patrol on Sunday night, and when they were asked to open the bag they held, they refused, that was what caused an argument between them, leading to one of them to slightly push the lady. But because the lady was drunk, she fell down and got injured.

“In spite of that, as I am speaking with you now, the policeman in question has been arrested and will face trial today ( Tuesday). He would definitely be punished. ”

The President of the FUTA Student Union Government, Abraham Esedere, said he was at the police headquarters over the matter and promised to call back.

“I’m at the police headquarters, I will call you back after I leave here,” he told our correspondent on the telephone.

We need police reformation in this country

He should be prosecuted.

Police is the definition of stupidity

The entire Armed Forces and not just the Police needed complete overhaul. Those who are meant to protect the citizens are now the greatest threat. Ranging from public molestation to extrajudicial killings and extortions. The story is unending and unacceptable. The Police man here identified needed to be punished accordingly.

The whole police system in this country needs an overhaul. The brutality is no longer isolated to a particular region, it's nationwide. Something has to be done fast

He should be properly dealth with not just arresting him

Police nd lies re like 5&6

Many mad police officers roaming...

Nigeria needs total cleaning,the country reminds me of d famemos movie into the badland. but in our own case,d land is good but with very bad people. No wonder,we go into prosperous countries and mess things up as usual. Bad behaviors looks very normal to most Nigerians,infact no one send values anymore. I'm sure if saints are made to rule this country,they will still fail. I think the country has been lost from our individual homes,maybe we need someone that does not look Ucha face, to help turn things around..

Is that blood on face

" leading to one of them to slightly push the lady. But because the lady was drunk, she fell down and got injured."
Hear talk abeg..fear Nigerian Police with animalistic tendency, VILE and EVIL

I saw the video of the policemen looking sober when they were being videod. They'll be behaving like tin gods but when in trouble, they'll be looking like kids caught urinating on the bed.

Slightly push?? Hmmmmm fair Nigeria police

A day shall never pass without the men on blank in bad and terrible news....smh

Although the police officer was wrong, the students (especially ladies) were silly. Night and you show such effontery against armed personnel.

Na wa o... What level of life frustration will make a man, a police officer at that, beat a young girl like she stole his manhood?... This is like lynching a hardened criminal.

Being a Nigerian is tiring tbh.

Are you posting in the right sections?
Are you derailing threads?

Oga police PRO, just a push gave the student koko and a cut on her face ehnn... easy o

A drunk lady? Which kain lie be this one again? When dem kidnaps dpo the other day, dem come say na dpo friend dem kidnap even when force headquarters confirm say na dpo them kidnap, as for the arrest, that one na another super story

they pushed her slightly and she fell and injured because she was drunk......those monster on black dirty clothes are liar

Is he inside cell? Arrested ko......foolish people

That injury doesn't look like something that was inflicted during a fall and she definitely didn't sound like someone that was drunk. She didn't look like it too so whatever that stupid liar said is from a typical lying policeman. He is obviously covering up his colleague

Young people are not safe in Nigeria.
