After being detained, tortured, and rendered unconscious, a student was allegedly dumped in front of his hostel by Kwara state police command personnel.
The victim, when speaking from the hospital bed, he said he was with two friends when some police officers approached them and told them to get into their car.
According to him, the officers told him and his friend to get into their car after identifying one of the students and asking him to leave.
He claimed that when the officers asked for their phones, they turned them over.
The officers allegedly turned to his friend and questioned him about why he wasn’t into “Yahoo Yahoo” after searching their phones but not turning up anything suspicious.
The victim claimed that after telling his friend not to respond to the question, the officers became enraged and allegedly started beating him.
