Sergeant Mercy John, a female police officer, who disarmed two robbers who attempted to steal her belongings, has been rewarded by the Babatunde Fashola, the governor of Lagos state.
The reward is coming barely a month after Sergeant John had disarmed the two armed at Egbeda-Shasha by Tawakalitu Close, Orisunmibare Road in Lagos.

It would be recalled that the incident happened on 10 February, 2015, at about 6pm when the robbers who rode on a motorcycle, had accosted John, brought out guns and ordered her to lie down. Apparently unaware of the fact that she was a police officer, the robbers thought they would have a field day but she gave them such a surprise by boldly grabbing the neck of one of the robbers and hit it on a nearby wall. With his gun falling out of his hand, John then grabbed it and turned it on the hoodlums who, sensing danger, fled the scene.
According to Channels, the official ceremony was held on Thursday at the Lagos House, Ikeja, shortly before the state’s Security Council meeting. Governor Fashola congratulated Sergeant John and encouraged her not to relent in her efforts in the course of her duty.

“Let me say very clearly that I value the work that you do, people of Lagos valued what you do and where ever you come from, this is your home and I think it is right to say that it was because you take this as home, you did the right thing, you took two robbers out of commission so that the people of Lagos can sleep well,” the governor said.

Sergeant John is a native of Ikori Local Government Area of Cross River State. She was enlisted into the Police Force on 1 July, 2000 and had earlier served in MOPOL 20, Force Ikeja from 2004 to 2012. She is currently attached to the Provost’s Department, State Police Headquarters, Lagos state.
