Lady Assaulted By Policemen During COVID-19 Lockdown Awarded N5m In Damages The Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, on Monday, February 1, awarded N5 million damages against the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector General of Police over the abuse of a woman, Tola Azeez, in Osun State, Igbere TV reports. A video of the officers assaulting the young lady went viral in April 2020. Tola was walking along Odo Ori Market in Iwo, to buy a drug for a relative when the officers who were enforcing the lockdown, descended on her, flogging her mercilessly with their whips. The state police command identified and arrested the erring officers, Ikuesan Taiwo, an inspector and Abass Ibrahim, a corporal. To protest the assault, a fundamental human right enforcement suit was filed by a lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, on behalf of Ms Azeez. The police counsel, F.B Osei, argued that Messrs Taiwo and Ibrahim were agents of the Nigeria Police Force, and that the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector General of Police could not be held liable for the acts and omission of its officers. This was countered by Mr Olajensgbesi who said the officers carried out the assault during an official assignment as agents of the police force. While delivering judgement on the case on Monday, the presiding judge, Justice Ayo Emmanuel, resolved the matter in favour of the applicant. He held that the actions of the offending officers in the discharge of their official duties as agents of the police amounted to an infringement of the Fundamental Right to Dignity of Ms Azeez, a liability the Nigeria Police Force must shoulder. He then awarded the sum of N5 million as aggravated and general damages against the police. Tola also took to her Twitter handle to react to the judgement. ''Happy new month people. According to the Judgement delivered by Justice Ayo Emmanuel at the federal high court in Oshogbo this morning, a sum of 5 million naira has been awarded to be paid to me by the Nigeria Police force as damages regarding to the brutality meted against me during the lock down. https://twitter.com/fabhally/status/1356191857894678529?s=19 17 Likes 2 Shares

This is what we call "ti tenikan o ba baje, telomi o le da" meaning if person own no spoil, another person own no fit good. Congrats madam, please use the money wisely. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not until you ignore failure and continue moving you will never be qualified to succeed. Success comes after numerous failures. Amateurism is allowed in the school of success. Good morning FAM. 4 Likes |

Who will pay the money? Nigeria's police? I laugh in Japanese. If the police has to pay her 5 million, the force will just fire everyone in that station or give them 2-week deadline to repay the money into police coffers. I just pity the motorists in that area if the police authorities settle for the second option. 39 Likes 1 Share |

Looks like she's suddenly hit some millions. The fact of the matter is she has the boldness to take action against them. Something that many poor Nigerians don't have. A lesson to every one. Don't take insult and say it happened to you cuz you're poor. That insult can change your story if you do something. 43 Likes |
