Or, how does one explain the police battering of innocent supporters of a particular candidate while pasting the posters of their principal, on allegation that they were tearing another person’s posters? The three told newsmen after they were discharged from hospital that they were on Saturday night beaten blue black by policemen attached to Governor Abiola Ajimobi and whisked to the Oluyole residence of the governor.
