Writer Ayo Sogunro shared the video from the assault on his Twitter handle and wrote
”When people still ask why #EndSARS had to happen, this is part of it. The Nigerian police will beat up a person senseless for being rude and then turn round to expect public sympathy. It’s not going to happen.”

”The Enugu State Police Command has begun an investigation into this incident with a view to identify and sanction the operatives involved.”
