Fayose sets up investigation team on woman tortured by police in Ekiti

Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose has set up an investigation team in the case of a woman, allegedly beaten to a pulp by some policemen in Ado Ekiti during the weekend.

He said the investigation team will unravel what actually transpired between the woman and the police, and bring the policemen that perpetrated the act to book.

The governor said he was particularly disturbed by media reports linking policemen to the alleged beating of the woman, in spite of her status as a nursing mother.

The governor declared that the law on violence against women was still subsisting in the state, and that the law would be applied as appropriate in this matter.
