A man was left with a broken head after police officers reportedly broke into his home in Abraka, Delta, with no search warrant and attacked him.
The 27-year-old man named Kelvin Ilom, was brutalized by a team allegedly led by Corporal Godspower, activist Harrison Gwamnishu reports.
Sharing a video of the assault and photos of the aftermath, Gwamnishu wrote: “A team of police officers led by Corporal Godspower broke into citizens’ homes with no search warrant.
“The rented apartment of a 27yr-old Kelvin Ilome was not spared as they forced their way into his house. He demanded for search warrant from these officers but was assaulted instead.
“These officers later took him to Divisional Police Headquarters Abraka where Corporal Godspower hit the victim on his head with a baton which in turn caused severe injuries on the head.
“The officer is currently detained as ordered by the DPO CSP Aliyu Shaba. We at Behind Bars Human Rights Foundation are demanding for his prosecution ASAP.”
