Oluwaseun Osowobi then went ahead to give a report of how the police officers gisted and gossiped about purposely keeping someone in cell, simply because he was fighting for his right.
“I have so much resentment in me. I sat at the Station & heard a female Police officer brag about how a man was left in the cell for days because they wanted to teach him a lesson for insisting he knew his rights as a Nigerian citizen when he was arrested. Other officers laughed“, she tweeted.
