FAYOSE RAISES PANEL TO PROBE POLICE ATTACK ON WOMAN IN EKITI

Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, on Sunday night announced his government’s interest in the case of a woman beaten by some policemen in Ado Ekiti on Friday.
The state governor, Mr Ayo Fayose made this known while speaking on a monthly public enlightenment programme, “The Governor Explains”.
He disclosed that an investigation panel has been set up to probe what actually transpired between the woman and the police.
He said the investigation will unravel the policemen that beat the woman.
The governor said he was particularly disturbed by media reports linking policemen to the alleged beating of the woman, Toyin Adeyeye, despite her status as a nursing mother.
He described as regrettable, the police action, coming barely two weeks after the state celebrated Women’s Day with fanfare.
The governor declared that the law on violence against women still subsists in the state, and that the law would be applied as appropriate in this matter.
Mr Abdullahi Chafe, the state police commissioner had said the woman was beaten by policemen at a checkpoint in Ado Ekiti because she slapped one of his men and tore his uniform.
He claimed the woman slapped one of his men when she was asked to prove the ownership of the car in which she was being driven.
Chafe spoke in a reaction to the social media outrage against the policemen for brutalising a woman.
After the beating, Adeyeye and her baby, including her younger brother, Adeniyi Dada, were detained at a police station in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital. The Kia Picanto that Dada was driving was also impounded.
“It is not good for somebody to prevent a law enforcement officer from carrying out his lawful duty, somebody wearing the uniform? It is not about his age but the authority he carries, I don’t allow my men to do something contrary to the law”, Chafe said.
“Those people slapped my policeman on duty and tore his uniform. Uniform is an authority and what those people did was against the law and it is not good for a civilian to slap a policeman
“I don’t want a woman to be detained with baby or with pregnancy, I don’t want an old woman or a minor to be detained. I have taken note of this and we will take the right action on the matter as investigation continues”, he said.
The husband of the woman, Mr Akanni Adeyeye refuted the police claim, saying his wife and her brother were beaten and detained for refusing to offer bribe to the policemen at the checkpoint.
He told newsmen that about five policemen on duty at the checkpoint beat them before taking them to the New Iyin Police Station where they were detained.
He said the police also impounded the black Kia Picanto car with registration number LAGOS FKJ 221 EE conveying them.
The woman and her daughter were released by the police on Saturday night.

My policeman... Civilian? The commissioner of police should be removed. He definitely has a military hangover!
I don't believe the woman slapped any policeman! I believe the police officer must have harassed her albeit sexually .... The police are well-known for that.


I doubt if any police officer will see the kingdom of heaven!

Sexually ke, we shouldn't just assume, some women are sick upstairs. She probably didn't slap the police man, but some women can go as far as locking a policeman shirt in an attempt to struggle with him.

Also it might be due to the Euphoria that she just retired from the United States that is doing her.

Nigerian Police no too get sense ohh, but they ain't that Bad.
