'My full names Lilian Ifemeludike and my foster sister's name is Sewuese Matthew. I am a United Nations Women Empowerment Champion and I was heading for a meeting with my United Nations Women Mentor when I realised that I had a flat tire so I went to fix it along Durosimi Etti Drive in Lekki phase one Lagos. I went along with my personal assistant who is also my foster sister. While the vulcanizer was checking my tire, some mobile police and taskforce men came to seize his machine. I tried to plead with them to let him fix back my tire since he had removed it already. While still pleading with him, my sister came to me crying that she was punched in the eyes by a mobile police man. As I went to show their team leader what they had done to my sister, they asked me to gibe them my phone, when I refused, they hit me to the ground and strated to punch and kick me amd finally collected my phone so I followed them since they had my phone'.
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) which is the umbrella body of all Nigerian students schooling within and outside the country condemn in totality the attack and other numerous maltreatments given to students by Nigerian police.
