A petitioner, Taiwo Oyewunmi, on Friday narrated to the Lagos Judicial Panel on police brutality how he was handcuffed with his 14-year-old son, Ayomide, by some unnamed police officers in Ajah.
The petitioner demanded financial compensation of N25 million.
Mr Oyewunmi, who represented his son, alleged that on September 10, 2020, some uninformed men stormed his apartment in the Ajah area of Lagos, and arrested him and his two sons including the 14-year-old.
“I was at home on the 10th of September 2020, I was about to use the bathroom, my first child, Olamide Oyewunmi, a graduate, had gone to work early in the morning as usual. While in the bathroom, I heard a noise, I was naked already in the bathroom. I didn’t know the direction that the noise was coming from. I took my boxers,” he said.
