Activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, has slammed security operatives for assaulting a man in front of his wife and children.
It was gathered that the man and his family were heading to church on Sunday, May 11, when they encountered men of Operation Sweep, a security agency in the state.
In the video he shared, the distraught wife of the man could be heard shouting
‘’You are beating my husband! You are supposed to be protecting us We are going to church. We are on the street’
The husband who was seated on the driver’s seat of the car, could be seen struggling with one of the officers dressed in military camouflage.
‘’I dey respect your uniform” the husband could be heard saying
Their little boy who was in the car could be seen crying as he saw the harassment his father was being subjected to.
An obviously displeased Harrison wondered why the officers mandated to go into the forest to ‘’sweep’ out criminals including kidnappers from the forests in the state are now the ones disturbing residents of the state.
He called on the state government to rein the officers in and prevent them from further harassments.
