Star Musician Baba Fryo Is Hospitalised After Being Brutalised by Policemen



He said the two policemen went to get five colleagues of theirs and pounced on these girls, hitting them viciously with guns, batons and boots.

When he heard the commotion from his room in his friend’s hotel, he said he moved to the scene to find out what was amiss.

He stated that when he begged the seven policemen to stop beating the girls, one of them turned to him and gave him some hot slaps.

Within seconds, four others joined in beating him, leaving him with fractures.

He said when he reported the matter to the DPO of a nearby police station, he sympathised with him.

But Fryo said he was taken aback when no mention was made of who would bear the cost of his treatment.

He vowed that he would sue the police if nothing was done about the matter, noting that a scan had confirmed that he sustained a fracture in one of his legs.

Baba Fryo is widely known for his hit track – Dem Go Dey Pose.

When our correspondent reached the spokesperson for the state police command, Ngozi Baride, for comments, she was said to be in a meeting.

She did not also respond to an SMS sent to her mobile phone.
