Abuse of power by police officer in Nigeria

Often, police officers in Nigeria covertly decree and summarily execute laws on behalf of the state. Sometimes, victims are killed. In this image captured @babyeenks with a phone, a police officer doles out punishment to the victim – beyond his scope of duty, outside the penal code and without regards to the courts – for “arguing with an officer.”
