Akiode Temitope, a journalist with TVC News/Continental Broadcasting Limited Service, was beaten, following his refusal to pay a sum of money which the policemen allegedly demanded from him. He identified the policemen as Oga Jude and Akin, who are said to be notorious in the area. His driver was also injured during the incident which occurred on January 21 at Imota, Ikorodu. See his post along with two videos posted on Facebook after the cut...
