Ogun Police Chief Summons Officers Over Assault Video

The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, has summoned four operatives from the Ogun State Police Command following their involvement in a viral video that depicted the assault of a young man. The spokesperson for the command, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, announced this in a statement on Sunday.

The video, which circulated on social media, showed three police personnel pinning the young man to the ground before handcuffing him. This incident reportedly occurred at Ijagba, Sango-Ota, and has drawn significant public outrage due to the perceived brutality of the officers involved.

The accompanying audio in the video suggested that the young man was arrested for wearing a camouflage knicker, raising questions about the appropriateness of the police's actions. In response, Babaseyi confirmed that the officers have been identified and that CP Bode Ojajuni has ordered immediate action in accordance with established procedures, emphasizing the command's commitment to accountability and professional discipline.

The four officers are en route to the headquarters for further action.
