Femi Owolabi, the journalist who was allegedly tortured by some policemen attached to the Anti-Robbery Section of the State Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba, Lagos, lectured about 100 policemen and officers on human rights issues on Thursday.

Owolabi, who was invited by the police authorities to deliver the lecture, spent about an hour with the policemen during the event, which also included an interactive session.

Punch Metro had reported on November 2, 2015, that the victim had gone to a night club with a female friend, Chidinma, when some officers raided the club and arrested him and others.

They were reportedly tortured before being taken to the SDCI, Yaba, where he alleged that some policemen extorted money from him and other suspects.

Owolabi, who reportedly sustained injuries to his neck during the incident, had narrated his ordeal to Punch Metro.

The police high command had thereafter arrested nine of the culprits and put them in detention.

It was also reported that the police were planning to dismiss the officers, when the victim decided to withdraw the case.

Oh! Good one, I hope they are learning

They cannot learn at all.It was because they arrested the wrong person hence this story.So many Nigerians has died in the hand of the police authorities and nothing has been done. Too bad.

It is part of their life style to raid and extort from Nigerians.They enjoy extortion to the detriment of their profession.
