Former Governor Rochas Okorocha says there is nothing like police brutality in Nigeria though he slammed the force last December for abducting his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu.
“There is nothing like police brutality. There is only youths brutalising youths. The police that brutalises his brother on the streets did so not because he is a police but because he is a young man frustrated,” Mr Okorocha asserted.
Mr Okorocha, who declared interest to run for president in 2023 in January, made the assertion while referencing the #EndSARS protest in an interview with Arise TV on Tuesday.
Last December, Mr Okorocha had accused the police of abducting his son-in-law Uche Nwosu and assaulting his wife at a church service. He said the police also assaulted his daughter.
In October 2020, Nigerian youths hit the streets across the country in the #EndSARS protest against prolonged police brutality in Nigeria.
