Mill: The fact that bystanders are there and they didn’t even try to intervene is disturbing.

Papi: It pains me why people keep watch from afar .. we as a citizen enabled this nonsense.

Being_A_Boy: @BenHundeyin your attention is needed sir

@abimbolasuccess: When una tire, na una go save unaselves!

I can’t imagine lots of people passing by without raising a voice!

Y’all are enablers!

Official: So bystanders couldn't even say a thing?

Nigeria cann0t be better

@iamRichyPerry: Police harassment and brutality can never stop in Nigeria. They are not being punished, decommissioned from service or face any consequences in anyway else why does this keep happening despite the media reporting and attention. Catch them on recording they get to go on a break then reassigned to a different unit, harassment continues.
