He said the policemen claimed to be searching for some cult members in the hostel. He said, “The incident happened around 4am after the students finished their hostel party. The operatives stormed the hostel as if they were going to war. They broke doors, burglar-proof bars and ceilings to gain entry. “The students initially did not open the door for them, thinking the policemen were armed robbers. That was how they started breaking the doors to enter. “When they entered the hostel, they started beating everybody. Many students suffered injuries. However, some students who gave them bribes, were released, while those who couldn’t were whisked away by the officers.” The Police Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr Femi Joseph, who confirmed the incident, said the Commissioner of Police, Mr Gbenga Adeyanju, had ordered an investigation into the matter. Joseph said, “Three students that were arrested have been released and the CP has ordered a full investigation into the matter. After the investigation, if the policemen are found culpable, they will pay for it. We don’t allow indiscipline in this command. “I call on any student who was brutalised to come to my office with evidence. I promise that we won’t spare any officer found culpable.” Punch Newspaper To Receive News Alert On WhatsApp, Add 08027397554; For Adverts Enquiries, Whatsapp 08027397554, Send Articles & News Stories To editor@skytrendnews.com.
