Outrage as Ogun Police Officers Assault Man Wearing Camouflage Shorts; Commissioner Orders Their Arrest

A viral video shows police officers pinning down and handcuffing a young man in Ijagba, Ota, after accusing him of wearing camouflage shorts, which are prohibited for civilians. Residents confronted the officers and prevented the arrest, which was eventually abandoned; the person who filmed the incident also alleged that police threatened to arrest her. Ogun State police said the four officers had been identified and apprehended, and Commissioner Bode Ojajuni had ordered immediate action. The incident comes days before the sixth anniversary of the #EndSARS protests, scheduled for October 20.
