‘They accused me of being a Yahoo boy and beat me till my hand dislocated’ – Nigerian man accuses police of brutality

A Nigerian man, Arowolo Oluwafemi Samsom, has accused some policemen at the Sagamu Road Police Station, of brutality.

Samsom, in a Facebook post on Thursday, January 6, claimed that the police officers labelled him a Yahoo boy (internet fraudster) without evidence and beat him until his “hand dislocated.”

“I was brutalized by police telling me I’m a yahoo boy without evidence….. SHAGAMU ROAD POLICE STATION IKD…. Name of police: A.Y.” he wrote.

“They beat me till my hand dislocated. Now at Igbobi feeling the pain. Please this must stop. Pleading to the Oba of Ikorodu, Oba Shotobi and other traditional rulers take action. This bullying is too much.”
