Immediate action needs to be taken TOWARDS JUSTICE!”

Here is a voice note from the victim. "Idowu Sars" partner who was with him, also laid hands on the victim and beat her. This was a brutal attack. Please we call for justice & open conversation on the brutality of recalcitrant officers. Idowu SARS must face the law. @PoliceNG_CRU https://t.co/JORRfVZW2C
