A police sergeant attached to the Police Mobile Force has been caught on video beating up a student of Delta State University for owning a N200,000 Apple iPhone.
The video, which was sent to The PUNCH by Stephanie Oghalezino, shows a visibly angry policeman accosting passengers in a commercial bus in the Okpe area of Delta State.
The policeman goes ahead to begin questioning the male occupants of the vehicle who are believed to be students
The sergeant then asks one of the students how much his phone is and the student replies that it costs N200,000.
The angry sergeant complains that in his over 14 years on the job, he has not been able to afford a phone of over N15,000 and then accuses the student of being a fraudster who uses female panties to do juju.
He asks the student to take his belongings from the bus as he would not be allowed to continue on the journey with other passengers.
The cop subsequently asks the student to open his phone so that he can inspect its contents.
As the young man dilly-dallies, the cop hits the student repeatedly in the back and smashes the phone against the ground.
