The Nigeria Police Force has arrested two suspects, ASP
Tijani Olatunji and Inspr Gboyega Oyeniyi who harassed a young woman in a
trending video.
The force said it identified three police Officers and one
civilian accomplice for their role in the discreditable conduct and incivility
to a member of the public.
According to a Police statement on Thursday, the suspects
are currently being detained at the Lagos State CID detention facility, Panti,
Yaba.
A video trending on social media had emerged showing
policeman interrogating a 25-year-old lady, who identified herself as Omobola
and asking her embarrassing questions about her sex life.
Amnesty International (AI) had described the action of the
Police Officers in the trending video as a violation of the young woman’s human
rights, particularly her rights to dignity and called for Inspector General of
Police, Mohammed Adamu to thoroughly investigate the case.
According to DCP Frank Mba, in the statement, preliminary
investigations by the force showed that the policemen who are attached to Area
‘A’ Command, Lion Building, Lagos, were on legitimate investigation activities
to Ibadan, Oyo State where the incident took place.
“Effort is being intensified to arrest the two other
accomplices. Meanwhile, appropriate disciplinary procedure will be initiated as
soon as investigations are concluded,” he said.
