Mohammed Adamu, the Inspector-General of Police has ordered an investigation into a video disclosing Nigerian police officers in Ibadan, Oyo State, dehumanizing a 25-year-old female suspect.
The Police officers met Towobola in the home of a suspected kidnapper and armed robber when they went to arrest him.
The policemen after arresting the suspected kidnapper decided to face Towobola by handcuffing her and accusing her of sleeping with the alleged kidnapper.
One of them who is identified as Wyclef, brought out his mobile device and started to record the lady.
The policeman pushed her to the floor while she tried to cover her face while he was recording. He then questioned her with questions like; what are you doing with the suspected criminal, how did you meet, and if she was a virgin and how many men she had slept with.
Towobola said she is age 25 and a graduate of the University of Ibadan and had just completed her National Youth Service Corps.
The Inspector-General of Police has condemned the dehumanizing treatment of Towobola and ordered an immediate investigation.
Taking to Twitter, he said;
“The Inspector-General of Police has ordered discreet investigations into the circumstances surrounding the dehumanising treatment meted out to a female citizen in the above viral video.“The IGP while condemning the act, has directed the commencement of comprehensive investigations aimed at unravelling the true identity of the perpetrators with a view to bringing them to justice.“Members of the public are hereby assured that any member of the Force found culpable in the incident will be made to face appropriate sanctions.”
