A power-drunk policeman, Dada Ogunsanya, who tutored a couple severely in Lagos, has been freed while Ejeh Smith, one of the couple is being detained for another offense.

The Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed that Ogunsanya had been released, saying his trial had ended but his rank was reduced from corporal to constable.

It would be recalled in December 2014, a couple Ejeh Smith and Grace, boarded a cab when Ogunsanya, a corporal attached to the Ikoyi division stopped the cab on a patrol mission.

And was said to have shone his torch on the passengers, but when the couple complained that the light was affecting them, Ogunsanya brought out Ejeh, hit him in the eye with his riffle and stepped on Grace’s stomach.

The case was still ongoing, when Ogunsanya was released, while Ejeh was detained for receiving a stolen keg of diesel.

It was gathered that a security man in the next compound had tried to sell a 25-litre keg of diesel to Ejeh but Ejeh told him he didn’t have money but offered to sell it on his behalf.

Unknown to him, the security man stole the fuel from his employer, which was later detected through a CCTV camera. And policemen from the Lion Building division arrested him after the security man mentioned his name.

Grace said the police in the Lion Building granted bail to her husband, but as Ejeh was going home, when policemen from the Ikoyi Division surfaced and said the complainant had demanded that the matter be transferred to the division.

Grace said, “After we paid N15, 000 for Smith’s bail in the Lion Building division, the police said he should be taken to the Ikoyi Police Division, that the owner of the case wanted it transferred there.

“The lawyer representing the complainant wanted to withdraw the case, but the police said the case should go on.

“The police then asked my husband to accept that he is a criminal, so that they can rubbish whatever we said they did to us. They also invited some journalists to interview him.”
