An act of kindness rendered to a robbery victim by DPO of the Ogudu police station was on Monday rewarded by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who personally invited the kind hearted police officer to his office for an honour.

The Governor described Mrs. Celestina Kalu, a Superintendent of Police (SP), as “a humane police officer”, saying her decision to save the life of an orphan, Friday Ajabor, shot by a two-man robbery gang in Ojota, was a “matchless trait of compassion”.

Ajabor, a 25-year-old orphan from Edo State, was at the Ojota with his friend at about 8pm on September 19 when two men of the underworld waylaid them, attempting to dispossess them of their valuables.
Ajabor’s friend managed to escape from the scene, leaving him at the mercy of the robbers armed with a local pistol. For struggling with them, the robbers shot Ajabor in the bowel at a close range and disappeared from the scene.

A team of policemen led by Mrs. Kalu arrived at the scene about 30 minutes later, meeting the hapless victim in a pool of his blood and thus rushed the victim to two hospitals where he was rejected for lack of bed space.
About 90 minutes after, the victim was admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of LASUTH in Ikeja, where he underwent a series of surgery, the cost of which was personally defrayed by Mrs. Kalu.

This extra effort by the police officer saved the life of the orphan whose relatives could not be reached at the time he was admitted into the ICU.
The DPO’s act of kindness caught Gov. Sanwo-Olu’s attention after it went viral in the social media, prompting the Governor to reach out to the policewoman and the victim.
While honouring the DPO, Sanwo-Olu said Mrs. Kalu went beyond the limit of her official duty to save the life of the robbery victim, describing it as “the essence of public service” and “a true spirit of Lagos”.
The Governor said the policewoman demonstrated a rare example that should be emulated by every Lagosian, urging security operatives not to fall short of such act of kindness in the discharge of their duties to the citizens.

God bless your kind heart madam, it takes a good mother to feel the pain of motherhood any time anywhere even though the person in question is not your biological child. toooto.
