The officers, noticing that the passersby had surrounded them, stopped the vehicle and escaped to avoid being attacked.
The Twitter user who shared a video of the incident disclosed that the victim is “currently at Irrua Specialist Hospital in Edo state, battling with his life”.
The incident sparked angry reactions on micro-blogging application, Twitter, as many called on the police to immediately identify and apprehend the officers.
The spokesperson, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi while reacting to the video described the act as “unpolice” behaviour.
In a terse tweet on Friday, Adejobi wrote: “This is unpolice. I don’t think a normal human being can do this. To crush a man with a car? This is unbelievable. I have personally contacted the CP Edo on this. We need to take urgent action on the matter. It’s strange to me as a person”.
The police spokesperson further revealed that the Edo police command has acted on the matter, saying “In fact, he has identified the men. We will still comment further asap”.
