KWASU student allegedly beaten to death by Policemen

Three police officers have allegedly beaten a Kwara State University (KWASU) student to death at Tanke Bridge in Ilorin, Kwara State.

Reports revealed that the incident occurred on Tuesday.

It allegedly started when the victim got off a motorcycle and was approached by three officers from the Ganmo Division, who then dragged him to the ground.

An eyewitness told Afrikaa Eyes on Friday that the victim had arrived by motorcycle to collect ₦1,000 he had already transferred to a Point of Sale (POS) operator, intending to give the money to the rider who had brought him.

“I was with him,” the eyewitness said. “As soon as he got the money, the officers came out of a tricycle and dragged him to the ground. The victim kept asking what offence he had committed, but they didn’t let him speak.”

The witness further explained that the victim pleaded with the officers, informing them that he was asthmatic, but they ignored his pleas.
