A woman was
recently flogged by some police officers in Osun State for allegedly violating
the lock-down orders. The case went viral on social media, the police men were
condemned and dismissed.
Nigerian
singer, Oritsefemi has been accused of endorsing police brutality after he used
a viral video of Nigerian police officers assaulting a woman recently in his
new music video.
The singer
whose song centered on the Coronavirus pandemic, used the video of the lady
being flogged in his music video.
Reacting to
this; Political analyst and activist, @YemieFash called out Oritsefemi on
social media. He revealed he reached out to Oritsefemi through a friend but he
was only “bragging unintelligently.” He also stated that they will initiate
legal actions against him.
He tweeted;
“Do you
remember the viral video of a lady that was flogged by some rogue @PoliceNG men
in Iwo, Osun state? @oritsefemi used the same video in his new music video
justifying the actions of the policemen who have since been dismissed. Some of
your celebrities are very insensitive.
“Kindly note
that I reached out to @oritsefemi through a friend yesterday after the lady in
the viral video, @fabhally called my attention to the situation and dude was
bragging unintelligently. We will initiate legal actions against him.”
The lady in
the video identified as Tola Azeez also tweeted;
“Yes very
very insensitive. I even tried to reach out. He called my bluff. How does he
think I feel?
“I also tried
reaching out via his Instagram and email. No reply, nothing, how does he think
I feel I ask again. How does he want my children to feel? He clearly was
justifying what happened to me. No human or even animals should be subjected to
that kind of brutality.”
