In contrast, her husband drove behind them, unknowing that the act infuriated the officers.

Tolu reported that on getting to the council, her sister was directed to another officer whom she pleaded with to forgive her and her husband as they were unaware of the lockdown restrictions in Ogun.

She alleged that despite pleading with the officer for a long time, the officer ordered his men to deflate her car tires instead, prompting her to make the video that spotted the task force officer attempting to beat her.

She tweeted, ”Ogun state task force kicked and beat my sister today on her to buy a bicycle for her daughter whose birthday is in two weeks.

”This afternoon, on my way to #justritestores in Ojodu to buy a bicycle for my daughter whose 7th birthday is in 2 weeks,

”We were stopped at the intersection between Lagos and Ogun State (which isn’t adequately marked) by #ogunstatetaskforce officials who informed us that there was total lockdown in #ogunstate during weekends and since we were in their territory,

”I agreed to walk with the officers while my husband drove behind us to their office. When we arrived, we were directed to the man in the video who told us we would pay a fine of N15000.00 for disobeying the lockdown that was in place. We explained that we didn’t live in Ogun state.

”While recording, the man began to beat me. I am calling on #ogunstategovernor #DapoAbiodun and other government agencies to see what the officials they have put in the office are treating citizens. The man beat me, kicked me, pushed me, and punched me because of N15000.00.
