According to Prince Yemi Itodo, Nigerian security repeatedly hit him on the head with gun.
"This is one of
the Officers of the Nigerian Peace Corps who is still lying unconscious at the
National Hospital, Abuja. The Nigerian security used body of gun to scatter his
head. Another lady, who just recovered from medical surgery was also wounded
and in comma at the same hospital. All in courtesy of the Nigerian Police, the
DSS and Army. They have always kicked against the establishment of the Peace
Corps, but to have gone this far is pure wickedness and total inhumanity."
