The Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Hakeem Odumosu, was forced to alight from his car on Monday and trek a distance as he visited the home of a 68-year-old woman that was assaulted by a police officer.

Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Lagos police spokesperson, said the aggressive #EndSARS protesters at Okota compelled Mr Odumosu to trek in the company of his senior officers for more than 10 kilometres.

“The Commissioner of Police, who had earlier been denied access at the Murtala Mohammed Airport toll gate in Ikeja by Endsars protesters, ran into a similar barricade at NNPC junction, Okota, where the hyper-aggressive protesters insisted that CP Hakeem Odumosu and team alight from their official cars and trek that long distance despite series of explanation and appeal on the command’s mission in the area.

“The Commissioner of Police, like every other officer in Lagos State, who has been professional in tolerating and managing several harassments, intimidations and provocations from the protesters, obliged and trekked for peace to reign.”

Mr Adejobi said the visit to the assaulted woman was to sympathise and apologise to her and her family members and assure them that the arrested police officer will face the Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC) for appropriate punishment.

PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported how Durojaiye Olaleye, a 68-year-old woman, was slapped several times by a police officer at Hogan Bassey police station, Iyun road.

The aged woman who was shocked by the incident said it should not be swept under the carpet as her life was threatened by the same officer despite doing no wrong.

The police identified the erring officer as Tunji Ajakaiye, a Superintendent of Police, who was also the second-in-command at the disbanded Anti Kidnapping Unit, Surulere.

“The Lagos police command condemned the unprofessional conduct of the senior officer which is unbecoming of his status and contrary to the modern policing principles of the police force.

“The commissioner also encouraged members of the public to report all unprofessional conducts of police officers and men to the command for appropriate disciplinary actions,” Mr Adejobi said..

PREMIUM TIMES

Nice
This police officers are wicked

They have not seen anything
Revolution is what we are going to give them

Edolites, upper Sakponba boys are running right now to confront some police officers in Benin with Ak 47

Earlier it was a gun duel with police and soldiers at satana market in sapele road
Edo boys responded when police and soldiers were shooting
I don't know how to post video here.
but let me put the pictures

It's a good exercise for them.

.

ok

Let me say my mind for the very first time without mincing words, the peaceful protest took enough time to allow the government to setup up what ever implementation they have, but because of how we don't matter and means nothing to them, it downs to politics as usual... Let me tell you now, if the protest turns violent as it's gradually doing now, let the whole world know that the Federal government caused it by their nonchalant attitude... Thank you and always maintain a peaceful protest, we know people behind the thugs.
Just imagine in the heat and tension making round the whole country and across the country, our president can't even address the nation, even if its for 5 seconds.. Such a shame

If you mock IPOB during their struggle with Nigeria armies, and you are protesting against killing of unarmed protesters today.
Go look at yourself in the mirror and say, I am a HYPOCRITE.

MNK will be Laughing@ you all now.

Thank you for your civil response
But it will be more enjoyable if South Nigeria republic is declare

OK na

Only 10km, most of us trek over 2km daily to and fro work due to bad roads and bad government.

They need to have a taste of what they've cooked...

Seen

Eku trekking o

Now, this is what I am talking about.
A peaceful protest is the way to go.
Not releasing prisoners, wearing police uniforms and raping ladies as some goats are already doing.
Thumbs up to all the states having a civilized and peaceful protest all over Naija.
We are on our way to a great nation.
I simply love this.

ALL POLITICIANS SHOULD BE PLACED ON MINIMUM WAGE TO ATTRACT GENUINE PUBLIC SERVANTS,
NO POLITICIANS SHOULD EARN DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF ANY CIVIL SERVANT, IN BOTH SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES

#EndSARSBrutality
Peaceful protest is the way to go.
#IStandWithAPeacefulProtest

Good for fitness.

That's very nice. No noisy siren with mobile harrasing people to go off the road

He need it

Na excercise

It is good to do exercise once in a while.

Professionalism.

Meanwhile the politicians in government are fighting a war against their own people.

Good!

If you had done your job and not wait for anarchy before you are responsive to the many complaints against the police force, you would have had no reason to trek for 10KM.

When next you get reports of police brutality and indiscipline, remember your 10KM trek and respond decisively.

Story. 10km. Na lie I
