Popular
musician, Friday Igwe aka Baba Fryo, has threatened to sue the Nigeria
Police Force for serious injuries sustained from an assault by five
policemen in Lagos.
Fryo, who spoke from his hospital bed on a
radio station in Lagos, Wazobia FM on Wednesday morning, said he was
beaten by the five policemen at Iyana Ishasi, a suburb of Lagos some
days ago when he tried to appeal to them to stop manhandling two young
ladies. Please click to continue reading…
The musician said the incident happened on
Tuesday after the two girls had rebuffed entreaties by two policemen to
follow them to an unknown destination.
He said the two policemen went to get five
colleagues of theirs and pounced on these girls, hitting them viciously
with guns, batons and boots.
When he heard the commotion from his room in his friend’s hotel, he said he moved to the scene to find out what was amiss.
He stated that when he begged the seven
policemen to stop beating the girls, one of them turned to him and gave
him some hot slaps.
Within seconds, four others joined in beating him, leaving him with fractures.
He said when he reported the matter to the DPO of a nearby police station, he sympathised with him.
But Fryo said he was taken aback when no mention was made of who would bear the cost of his treatment.
He vowed that he would sue the police if
nothing was done about the matter, noting that a scan had confirmed that
he sustained a fracture in one of his legs.
Baba Fryo is widely known for his hit track – Dem Go Dey Pose.
When our correspondent reached the
spokesperson for the state police command, Ngozi Baride, for comments,
she was said to be in a meeting.
She did not also respond to an SMS sent to her mobile phone.
