The police in Rivers State, South-south Nigeria, say they would investigate some officers who allegedly assaulted a traveller in the state.
A human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, had petitioned the Nigerian Police Force via his X handle (formerly Twitter) on Friday over alleged assault of a traveller by some unidentified police officers in the state.
Mr Gwamnishu said the traveller, simply identified as Jennifer, was allegedly beaten by the officers who were on a stop-and- search operation around Ada George, Port Harcourt, on Thursday.
