Man Dragged By Police Van In Edo: Police Issues Statement (Photos) by itsdumebi(m): 11:13pm On May 17, 2017 |
The Nigerian police force has issued a statement about a viral video showing a crime suspect that was handcuffed to a police van. It was widely reported that the van driven by police officers was used to drag the suspect around before the video was taken. A statement signed by the assistant commissioner of police, Abayomi Shogunle detailed the series of event that occurred on the day of the incident. It reads; The Public Complaint Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU) has initiated an investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident including the police operations that led to the viral video showing a suspect handcuffed to a stationary police patrol vehicle in Benin-City, Edo State on Sunday 14th May 2017. It is important to state that there is no frame in the 1:34" video in circulation on various social media platforms that shows anyone being dragged by a police patrol vehicle as insinuated. Preliminary investigations reveal that on Sunday 14.05.2017 at about 9:30 am, the Police at Esigie Division in Benin-City, Edo state received an information regarding congregation of suspected cultists in preparatory to the commissioning of a felony. Based on the information, a police team was dispatched to the scene where two male persons were arrested while others took to their heels. Upon searching the suspect seen handcuffed to the vehicle in the video, Indian hemp and cocaine were found on him. Both arrested suspects were then taken into the patrol vehicle and secured accordingly to prevent escape during transportation to the Police station. At a point along Sopkonba Road, Benin-City, a crowd tried to prevent the free passage of the patrol vehicle transporting the suspects. In the process, one of the suspects (one seen in the video) tried to escape by jumping off the back of the open pick-up patrol van but was restrained by the handcuff attaching him to the vehicle. A reinforcement was called and the suspects were eventually taken to the station. Both arrested suspects including the one seen in the video (on the Right in photo below) are the ones in the attached photo, there is no sign of bodily injury on them. Members of the public that witnessed the incident or with information other than what is already in public domain should please turn up at the Office of the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 5 Benin-City where detailed investigations are ongoing into the circumstances surrounding events that led to the video and allegations made therein. The Nigeria Police Force under IGP Ibrahim Idris NPM, mni is determined to ensure that rights of every suspect is protected at all times. The public is assured that proven case of abuse of powers any police officer(s) would attract sanctions. As we await the outcome of the investigations by AIG Zone 5 Benin-City, members of the public are enjoined to always cooperate with Nigeria Police Force units as police officers are out to ensure protection of lives and properties. http://politicsngr.com/2017/05/17/npf-issue-statement-suspect-dragged-police-van-edo-state/ 2 Shares

Of course. They always lie to protect their useless officers. A DPO shot a guy at close range in Lagos this week, the same people said no shots were fired. 48 Likes 4 Shares |

Nigerian Police is far too damaged for redemption. Their statement might be true, but i doubt there's anything in this world to convince me that it's the truth. 52 Likes 1 Share |

But if the police are trying to cover up their improper act then all witness should storm the station to give their own version .

Useless Edo police force. Will they ever admit? Why won't foreigners call us all sorts of names? Especially those in Ekpoma, let them see you with a Laptop or Car, you are automatically a cultist, Indian hemp smoker or yahoo boy. They will make sure they extort and free you afterwards. Who catches a criminal and grant them bail immediately ![]() 6 Likes |

READ THIS BULLSH!T!!! Both arrested suspects were then taken into the patrol vehicle and secured accordingly to prevent escape during transportation to the Police station. At a point along Sopkonba Road, Benin-City, a crowd tried to prevent the free passage of the patrol vehicle transporting the suspects. In the process, one of the suspects (one seen in the video) tried to escape by jumping off the back of the open pick-up patrol van but was restrained by the handcuff attaching him to the vehicle. A reinforcement was called and the suspects were eventually taken to the station. Nonsense! Why would a suspect knowing he is handcuffed to a van want to jump from same If this was not recorded on video the police would've denied the occurrence of this brutality. 14 Likes 2 Shares |
