An eyewitness shared the disturbing video with the caption: “The woman sat in front of her house with some older women and a Police officer (Sergent Iku Esan), asked what she was doing in front of the house and the woman replied ‘is there anything bad in staying in front of my house’.

“Suddenly He started flogging her and the woman kept saying don’t flog me within 3 mins the rest of the Police officers came and joined hands and kept flogging her.”

In the video, the officers could be seen pouncing on the woman with canes ad flogging her left right and centre, leaving her helpless.
