Gunmen suspected to be members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) tortured a policeman identified as Gabriel Anyanwu.
In the viral video, the officer of the Imo State Criminal Investigation Department and attached to the Police Public Relations Unit was captured bleeding as he sat on the floor, eliciting pained expressions.
According to SaharaReporters, one of the suspected IPOB members was also heard in the background threatening to kill Gabriel for being a member of the Nigeria Police Force, instead of joining “the moving train”.
He also warned youths against joining the police, Ebubeagu security outfit, army and other security agencies.
Although SaharaReporters cannot independently verify where and when the video was shot, it was gathered that the officer was abducted last week.
“All these rubbish, idiotic police youths that supposed (sic) to join the movement, the moving train but went ahead to join the slow train. Did they told (sic) you that that slow train will win? No,” the suspected IPOB member was heard saying.
“In this life, there is (sic) two things, either good or bad, either life or death, since you have chosen a wrong part to join rubbish police, Nigeria zoo force, today will mark your end. Yes, today will mark your end, idiot. And I’m telling all these youths joining Ebubeagu, police force, Nigerian army.”
