This is me been beaten by the police today on my way to get drugs and some relief materials for my people.
My body is all swollen. Already I had heard how sergeant Ikuesan can be so mean to Iwo people who are law abiding. But I’ve never met him in person until today. He refused to listen to me.
This is a pic of one of the bruise on my thigh aftermath of the beating. Many more on my thighs and all over my body.”
