I showed them my identity card but the officers who battered me, scorned it, saying, \u2018Can you try this with operatives of DSS, even soldiers? The Command should have let us sign for guns and kill and arrest these protesters. In Ondo Command, they would have signed guns for us to deal with these miscreants who want to pull us into politics.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother officer screamed and said: \u2018You came here claiming you are a journalist.
