Man files P500,000 claim for �police assault�

In his declaration, Mbakiso Nyamambi, says that on September 10, 2016 three police officers, Constable Montsho, Sergeant Rahube and sub-Inspector Kefitile wrongfully assaulted him at Tati River Plots. Nyamambi said the three officers, who are represented by the Attorney General (AG), assaulted him by repeatedly hitting him with batons, a battering he added continued well after he had been arrested and handcuffed.

“At no time during the course of the incident did the plaintiff pose any threat to the safety of the defendants or the public. Despite medical treatment, the plaintiff continued to experience headaches and bodily pain several days after the assault. The conduct of the defendants in using force against the plaintiff was totally without probable cause, excessive, malicious, false and done in bad faith,” argued attorney, Mboni Manyothwane in the plaintiff’s declaration.
