While describing the event, he said, “I was right there when two boys rushed a man, snatched his phone as he was about to photograph him, and stabbed him repeatedly. We were about to apprehend them; one fled, and the police arrived and took the suspect away.” He pointed out that the officers removed the suspect despite the crowd’s anger.
He further expressed his frustration, asking, “Shey na police they be? Instead of listening to us, they refuse to release the suspect for us to handle. Are they really police? Shouldn’t they be on our side rather than protecting the offender?” His comments showed his displeasure with how the situation was managed.
