This was made know by Tony Ojukwu, the Executive Secretary to the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC. Tony Ojukwu tweeted pictures showing the injuries sustained by the woman and her baby as inflicted on them by Idowu SARS.

He tweeted that the act by Idowu “who pulled up a gun and beat up a woman and her 3-month-old baby in Ibadan is disheartening”.

He added that “Immediate action needs to be taken towards justice” and that “the Oyo State government and the Nigerian Police should not allow this to go unpunished.
