AriseTV reports that thugs around Elegushi Palace of Lagos state have attacked members of its news crew. Drones and filming equipment were taken from them forcibly, while the crew were physically assaulted and bruised. The crew were restrained from leaving the area.
A Policeman was pictured holding the drone equipment that had previously been seized. Still, reports from Arise TV say the equipment hasn’t been returned to them and has some speculating online if the police were in cohorts with the thugs or merely retrieving said equipment as part of his duties.
Arise Tv has since contacted the Commissioner of police for lagos state, who has promised to “swing into action ” and resolve the situation.
