In the video shared, the police officer was seen slapping and flogging the man.
The policeman was heard saying in Pidgin English language, “waka dey go, I say waka dey go” while the man he was assaulting asks “Why you dey flog me, I thief”
The man then collects the cane from the officer who then proceeds to slap him twice on the face and orders him to walk to his car.
A second police officer is seen rough handling the man’s female companion.
Viewers have expressed outrage after watching the video and are questioning why police brutality has not abated.
