The Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer, CSP
Olumuyiwa Adejobi has reacted to a viral video of a police officer crushing a man with a car in Edo State.


Adejobi, who expressed his disbelief at the incident, said the force must immediately take action. He said he had spoken to the state police commissioner about it.


In the disturbing video shared by a Twitter user, @PIDOMNIGERIA, a man in hand cuffs is seen being
crushed by some police officers in a minibus in Ekpoma, Edo state.


The video shows the victim lying on the floor in front of the patrol car.

Residents of the area were talking to police when suddenly, one of them who was driving the car, moved it
forward and crushed the victim, with one of the tires rolling over the helpless man. He later stopped the
vehicle residents repeatedly yelled that the victim was under the car.


“Nigerian police @police is extremely heartless. See how they knocked down this young man, and later crushed him. He is currently at Irrua Specialist hospital in Edo state, battling with his life,”
@PIDOMNIGERIA captioned the video.


Commenting on this, Adejobi said he could not believe that a normal person would crush a fellow human with a vehicle let alone a law enforcement officer.


He said, “This is unpolice. I dont think a normal human being can do this. To crush a man with a car? This is unbelievable. I have personally contacted the CP Edo on this. We need to take urgent action on the matter. It's strange to me as a person.”

This is the most disturbing video I have seen.

Looks to me there's another side to the story

God! Please let the authorities not sweep this case under the carpet. This case shouldn't be handled with Kid gloves. Thorough investigations should be carried out and the culprit must be severely dealt with. A typical Nigerian policeman is Heartless and Evil that's why I don't pity them when they are killed by Terrorists

That guy killed himself, I watched the full video on Facebook, why did he laid down in the front of their car knowing very well their lives were at risk? They mob were already gathered at officers , even in UN standard the officials are not to blame

Weired thinking. Why will the police fear mob when the police did not do anything bad. Who tired the boy/man with rope? Is it not the police. How can the boy get out of their way when he was tired down?

TemplarLandry:
The highhandedness/brigandage of these law enforcement agents is nauseating.
I dedicate “Alone” by Burna Boy to all Nigerians in the struggle. Great jam!

IamANigerianMan:

If your life is at risk you have the right to kill to save your own life... That guy did to himself,
