Mr. Ojeniyi (victim), the husband of Mrs. Deborah Ojeniyi, whose husband was arrested by the police when he went to see his sick twin brother at the Restore Health Clinic in Amuwo Odofin, said that two officers and a guy that was with the officers slapped and punched him until he gave up and entered the vehicle they drove to the clinic.
Mr. Ojeniyi said he heard a young man screaming the name of the doctor, so he went outside to check what was going on. Then he saw officers trying to force the man into their minibus, but he was struggling with them and shouting the doctor's name. He said that the doctor was trying to talk to them, but they didn't listen.
He added that he was standing and busy observing the whole situation when some officers came to grab him. Mr. Ojeniyi said he and the other young man were both handcuffed and taken to a police station in Mile 2.
As reported by Sahara Reporters on Monday, Mr. Ojeniyi said, "He was screaming the doctor's name, ‘Dr. Oke’, trying to explain to them, but they didn’t listen. Instead, they beat him, tore his clothes, and shoved him in their vehicle. I noticed the doctor was trying to talk to one of the officers, but they didn’t listen. While I was standing and observing, one of the officers grabbed me from behind and said, ‘Put this one self for motor’. I was confused, and another one dragged me along. I struggled, but I was overpowered. Two officers and a guy that was with them slapped and punched me till I gave up and entered the vehicle. We were both cuffed to the vehicle’s seat and taken to their station at Second Rainbow, Mile 2."
