A storm of reactions by Nigerians has greeted a video of
Obioma O. Obi, an officer of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF)
caught on camera assaulting unarmed #EndSARS
protesters.
retwtr.com had reported earlier that Nigerians trooped out
en-mass to protest against police brutality in the country which
has led to the deaths of young Nigerians in recent times.
Nigerians demanded among others, the proscription of the
Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS), a unit
of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) during the protest today. In the
Lagos, Nigerian musicians, Falz and Runtown led the protest which
could be described as peaceful.
However, the reverse was the case in Imo State, Owerri to be
precise as a police officer, Obioma O. Obi, who has been identified
as the DPO of Orji Police Station was caught on
camera assaulting protesters.
It was learned that the chaos occurred when #EndSARS protesters
stormed Orji Police Station in Owerri in a bid to send the #EndSARS
message but the protest was intercepted by the police.
While at the police station, it was gathered, that the DPO of
Orji Police Station, Obioma O. Obi, came out to address the
protesters and during his address, the police officer reportedly
told the protesters to go back home adding that the government will
see to their plight, but the protesters refused to acknowledge his
call.

retwtr.com learned that the #EndSARS
protest became violent when the protesters used unpleasant words on
the DPO and in turn, the police officer who was apparently
displeased with the utterances, punched a protester and furiously
brought out his service pistol and threatened to shoot all the
protesters if they do not leave the station.
Displeased with the attack on the unarmed citizen, Nigerians
took to the micro-blogging site, Twitter to berate police officer
Obi.
