Nigerian content creator Cute Abiola has raised concerns over alleged police brutality in Kwara State, accusing some officers of harassing and brutalising residents.
Cute Abiola, in a video shared on his Instagram page, said he had personally witnessed incidents of police harassment and brutality in the state, adding that the situation must stop.
The content creator said he had raised the issue several times and held discussions with the former and current commissioners of police in the state.
According to him, despite assurances from police authorities that the incidents had stopped, reports from youths and videos circulating online suggested that the alleged brutality was continuing.
He said the current Commissioner of Police told him that some of the videos were old clips and explained that the officers involved were members of a tactical team.
Cute Abiola, however, said he had personally witnessed some of the incidents, adding that the officers were often dressed in plain clothes.
“From now on, this must stop in Kwara, and I want to drop some numbers that you can call in case the police harass you. They have no right to collect your phone,” he said.
He urged residents who experience harassment to contact the Commissioner of Police and the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), sharing their contact details alongside that of his personal assistant.
The content creator said Kwara State should remain a place of peace and harmony, insisting that alleged police brutality must not continue.
