The musician spoke from the hospital, where he is being treated for injuries sustained, said the incident happened around Iyana Ishasi, a suburb of Lagos some days ago.
According to him, he saw the law enforcement agents manhandling two ladies and he decided to intervene. Fryo said the young ladies had refused to follow two of the policemen to an unknown destination. After this, the man went to get more of their colleagues, who resorted into force and pounced on the girls.
Fryo said he heard the commotion from his friend's hotel room and he went to the scene to intervene. He stated that he tried to plead with the seven policemen on behalf of the girls to stop the beating, but instead, one of them turned to him and slapped him. Four others joined in beating him, leaving him with fractures.
He said when he reported the matter to the DPO of a nearby police station, all he was sympathise with him. Fryo said he was taken aback when no mention was made of who would bear the cost of his treatment.
He vowed that he would sue the police if nothing was done about the matter, stressing that a scan had confirmed that he sustained a fracture in one of his legs.
Baba Fryo rose to fame in the late 90's with a couple of hit tracks which include Dem Go Dey Pose
