Mr Martins Neboh aka Mc4God took to his social media to narrate how he was harassed and beaten by a police man around Uwani Axis in Enugu.

Martins Neboh who is also contesting for House of Assembly (Enugu North) in Enugu under Young Progressive Party (YPP) said that he was dragged and beaten like a common thief.

“They barricaded my car, dragged me out of my car like a common thief, beat me up and left me with bruises and a bleeding ear (from numerous slaps which was initiated by one Mr. Jude). I had thought they were assassins but I discovered they were police. They went on to damage all my posters in my car and threatened to do more. They said all sorts of things and asked me to come settle them if I want to have peace of mind in this Enugu and my question remained; what have I done?”

I witnessed the major sting that stifles young people’s participation in politics yesterday evening around 7:30/8pm at st Mary’s junction uwani by Kenyatta When I declared to run for House of Assembly, my loved ones and friends got worried. They would tease me and say “You are too good to run for office” and I ask them, “Should we allow bad people govern us and still complain about bad leadership?” Its no news about how much threats and harassments I have received so far but yesterday was the height of it. 8th January evening the Nigerian police men proved to me that they can be used and manipulated to do scrupulous acts. They barricaded my car, dragged me out of my car like a common thief, beat me up and left me with bruises and a bleeding ear (from numerous slaps which was initiated by one Mr. Jude). I had thought they were assassins but I discovered they were police. They went on to damage all my posters in the car and threatened to do more. They said all sorts of things and asked to come settle them if I want to have peace of mind in this Enugu and my question remained; what have I done? @Astro_theLegend and some other elderly men tried to intervene but ASTRO was hit with a gun which dislocated his arm. See, we must Fix Nigeria, More Young people should get involved. @Police IG please caution your men. Before it was SARS, are we going to have another #Endpolicebrutality ? #PoliticsIsForAll #GovernanceNotWar I am Martins Neboh and I will not succumb to anyone’s intimidation.
