According to a report by Vanguard Newspaper, three
female police officers from Oregbeni Police Station were beaten and
stripped naked yesterday. This happened when the police officers went to arrest
a tenant at Oregbeni Quarters In Benin.
Here is an excerpt from the report;
It was learned that trouble started
when the tenant insisted on taking her bath before going to the police station,
but the police officers said she should follow them.
A fracas was said to have ensued and
other residents in the area joined the tenant to beat and strip the police
officers.
The landlady, identified as Mrs.
Okebuse, said she invited the police because she had given the tenants quit
notice.
She said: “When the police came to
make arrest, they started fighting the police-women. I ran for my life and hid
at the other compound.”
An eyewitness said the landlady
always used police to harass her tenants, adding that the woman was taking her
bath when the police officers arrived, but was disallowed from continuing with
her bath.
Police Commissioner, Foluso
Adebanjo, who expressed disappointment at the attack, said the police would not
take the attack likely.
Adebanjo said the attackers would be
made to face the full wrath of the law.
He said the suspects had already
been charged to court.
