A Nigerian lady found herself in a tense standoff with police officers after they allegedly arrested her brother without providing a justifiable reason while they were traveling together.
The lady took to TikTok to share her ordeal, detailing how the police abruptly stopped them during their journey and took her brother into custody. She explained that she questioned the officers about the reason for his arrest but was met with hostility.
As the situation escalated, she insisted on calling their mother to inform her of the arrest. However, the officers allegedly attempted to confiscate her phone to prevent her from making the call. She resisted their efforts, which led to a physical altercation between her, her siblings, and the police officers.
Recounting the incident, she stated: “It was the police o! They came and took my brother while we were traveling. I refused to let them. I told them I needed to call my mom, but they tried to take my phone. When I refused, they started beating me and my siblings.”
She added: “They beat him and handcuffed him, so I had to step up and fight as the eldest child.”
Following her post, many social media users expressed their outrage over the incident, condemning the alleged police brutality and unlawful arrest. Others shared similar experiences and advised her to seek legal assistance.
