Nasiru Madobi, the father of the deceased told DailyNigerian that as a law-abiding citizen, when his son returned home he took him voluntarily to the police station for interrogation.

According to the father, three more policemen soon took sticks to beat his son to a pulp.

“The situation made me leave the police station immediately as I could not stand the pain of seeing my son being beaten on a simple matter that can be resolved among parents,” he said.
