A 28-year-old student of Lagos State University (LASU), Sewuese Matthew was allegedly brutalized by members of the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit .
Sewuese was said to have been brutalized by the taskforce operatives after she was found doing a video recording of them while they were on operation.
Her words, “On Wednesday, February 8, my sister and I were going out of the estate in her car, when the car had a flat tyre. While we were at the vulcanizer’s place trying to fix the tyre, the task force officials stormed the area and packed wares displayed by the roadside.
There was chaos and some people were filming what was happening. I also tried to do so while my sister was pleading with them. A tall policeman among them walked up to me, snatched the phone and started punching me.
I ran to my sister, crying. He smashed the phone on the ground and she picked it. The officer and other policemen chased her and started hitting her until they collected the phone from her. I rushed there and pleaded with them to leave her. They punched me in the mouth, face and neck. I also broke my hand.”
