Police investigate alleged assault of filmmaker, Lanre Adediwura

Lanre Adediwura filmmaker brutalised by police

The police have begun investigation into alleged brutalisation of actor and movie director, Lanre Adediwura, by officers attached to the Lagos command.

This was disclosed to Qed.ng by Lagos police spokesman, Bala Elkana.

Mr. Adediwura had in a series of Instagram posts on Thursday accused the police of masterminding his remand at the Kirikiri prison after damaging his car.

The Apasaye actor said he was intercepted by some policemen while picking an unnamed pregnant woman.

A female police personnel reportedly tore her own uniform to falsely accuse him of assaulting an officer of the law.

The filmmaker was subsequently taken to court from where he was taken to Kirikiri because he could not immediately meet his bail condition.

Responding to enquiry by Qed.ng, Mr. Elkana said, “I am personally investigating the matter.”

Rapper, Ruggedman, in an Instagram post, also said Force Police Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, told him they were investigating what has been termed “from the street to Kirikiri”.
