\"Police<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Nigeria Police Force on Wednesday, said it had commenced an investigation into a video trending on social media where policemen were shown interrogating a 25-year-old female suspect and asking her embarrassing questions about her sex life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police stated this on its Twitter handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Inspector General of Police has ordered discreet investigations into the circumstances surrounding the dehumanising treatment meted out to a female citizen in the above viral video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe IGP, while condemning the act, has directed the commencement of comprehensive investigations aimed at unravelling the true identity of the perpetrators with a view to bringing them to justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembers of the public are hereby assured that any member of the Force found culpable in the incident will be made to face appropriate sanctions\u201d, the NPF tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video, a policeman who identified himself as \u2018Wyclef\u2019 along with his colleagues, interrogated the 25-year-old, who gave her name as Towobola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was said to have been arrested in Ibadan when policemen raided a building where a suspected kidnapper was living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After taking away the kidnap suspect, the policemen faced Towobola, who was handcuffed and accused of sleeping with the alleged kidnapper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video, Wyclef is seen mocking her and telling her that young ladies are fond of dating men with questionable wealth which often lands them in trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also told her that if he had wooed her she wouldn\u2019t have accepted but will be quick to have sex with criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The policeman also asked her if she is a virgin and how many men she has slept with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Threatening to beat her up if she does not answer his questions, Wyclef said: \u201cYou just met this guy recently right? Why did you stop seeing the guy you were sleeping with before? You saw a thief and followed him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towobola, who begged the policeman intermittently, insisting that she never knew the suspect was a criminal, claimed that she just recently completed her National Youth Service Corps programme and that she graduated from the University of Ibadan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere is the guy that deflowered you? He doesn\u2019t have money right?\u201d Wyclef continued mocking the lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf the criminal didn\u2019t have a car or money, would you have agreed to date him? Is it not because of money you\u2019re dating him? Why did you sleep in his house? If I find out that you have slept with him before, what should I do to you?\u201d the policeman asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the concluding part of the video, Wyclef faces the camera and boasts that he \u201ccatches suspects like fowls\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video, which has gone viral online, drew the anger of many on social media, who insisted that the policemen be sanctioned for unprofessional behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
