An American Nigerian lady Odera brutalised by police officers in Lagos has taken to twitter to narrate her bitter experience in the hands of the officers whom she claimed were not on uniform.

According to her, their only crime was keeping out late, which she reported was due to the fact that she had a flat battery on her phone and had to stay late at a bar to charge up before heading home with her cousin.

She wrote:

Wow. Just had my first #SARS experience and my biggest mistake was allowing myself get so comfortable in this town. I didn’t even realize it was SARS until I left.

So i left my power bank at an office I’m freelancing close to my house. Receptionist dropped it with the bartender of a place next door. I’m supposed to be traveling early but I got back late so I had to head there pretty late to get it.

Went with my cousin. No light and phones were dead and I like their shrimp springroll so we sat down to use style and charge. Got my power bank, tried to order Uber, no car available, Taxify was surging 2500 for a ride I paid 500 Cousin said let’s just go take Keke N50.......

How do people have the time and energy to hate a stranger on the street?

Next Level might just be worse than this

#Sorry

Na lastma touch you no be SARS because if SARS touch you you no go dey take photo, na photo go dey take you

Force men keep crossing the lines of justice and everyone is mute.

I begin to ask if the armed forces of this country is above the law.

They easily unleash wickedness on innocent citizens and are never questioned

All this is a cause of boredom. I’ve seen it before, due to a lack of training and equipment the policemen sit idle by the side of the road, drinking and plotting evil. Sometimes ‘activity’ comes their way in the form of a drunken passerby who they unleash all their frustrations on.
The woman was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s sad she or any other innocent civilian have no one to report these cases to.

Awon ode
Should I tell you the meaning of brutal or brutality?

Nigeria police force is the best in the world and loved by the Nigerian citizens, with highly trained illiterates, that values money more than human life when given the opportunity to choose. The Nigerian police will always remain friends of the citizens.


The lady must be an opposition trying to tarnish the image of the police under my administration.

This is Nigeria

.

They were just giving you a reminder of why your parents abandoned this shithole in the first place.

Hahahahahaha u neva see sumtin who asked you to come at the first place

Yankee is good

What is 'American-Nigerian' lady? Just say police brutalize a lady. Simple.

Women can be hypocrites,Is this what you call brutalized?
That's a scratch compared to what us men face.

Welcome 2 da jungle, you must strong to survive here

Hmm . Even though these SARS people can be unreasonably wicked .
Believe her story at your own peril

...

This is Nigeria...

And that's our sars...lol

just like that. ?

Shibaraba:
Na lastma touch you no be SARS because if SARS touch you you no go dey take photo, na photo go dey take you

I know say if na those devil incarnate touch her those legs will not be functioning by now even for her to stand on her two feet na for igbobi ICU that one go happen

Those police or Army doing this are usually from the North, Yorubas or from Edo. I promise you the chances of Biafrans in service doing this is very low.

Hope she wasn't raped? Her back arm bruising and she saying she was "dragged to the ground" give the weird idea all that happened was not entirely told!

the sad reality is that police brutality is on the increase & that is mainly because of the mentality of those presently at the helm of affairs who have a culture of impunity.


the more tyrannical a leader is, the more brutish the security forces on the civilian populace...

There is difference between Nigerian-American and American-Nigerian.
If someone is originally American and now Nigerian, he is American-Nigerian. If originally Nigerian and has become American he is Nigerian-American.

When in Rome, do like Romans.

No need venturing outside after 8pm in Nigeria.

Single lady + night in Lagos + Christmas period + Keke == story that may not end well.

Policemen are looking for prostitutes to extort. The government doesn't want to do anything about it. The best option is to not make oneself an available victim.

Forgot your charger? Buy another one.

She waka the whole US, she nor see Zoo visit for this season. Abi?

She should report to IGP, and he will surely investigate the case.

Where is NwaAmaikpe?

You are a Nigerian American and you're still fussing over 2500 Naira, the Americans I know prioriize safety over expenses but i guess you allowed the Nigerian in you to get the better of you. Anything could have happened, you could have entered one chance or meet armed robbers/ritualists....Just thank God it was not more than this!
