Photo: Tortured Journalist Lectures 100 Policemen On Human Rights

Hehehe I love this. When they don’t
know, please lecture them! Love the new Police boss by the way, things are
taking shape. Have you noticed how Policemen have started behaving nicely? Hahaha
no time!

Femi Owolabi, the journalist who was allegedly tortured by
some policemen attached to the Anti-Robbery Section of the State Department of
Criminal Investigation, Yaba, Lagos, lectured about 100 policemen and officers
on human rights issues on Thursday.

Owolabi, who was invited by the police authorities to
deliver the lecture, spent about an hour with the policemen during the event,
which also included an interactive session.

  

Punch Metro had reported on November 2, 2015, that the
victim had gone to a night club with a female friend, Chidinma, when some
officers raided the club and arrested him and others.

They were reportedly tortured before being taken to the
SDCI, Yaba, where he alleged that some policemen extorted money from him and
other suspects.

Owolabi, who reportedly sustained injuries to his neck
during the incident, had narrated his ordeal to Punch Metro.

The police high command had thereafter arrested nine of the
culprits and put them in detention.

It was also reported that the police were planning to
dismiss the officers, when the victim decided to withdraw the case.
