A Divisional Police Officer in charge of Ikenne
Division of Ogun State, Patrick Onwu, went wild
and beat a female traffic officer to coma for
allegedly stopping his private vehicle.
The incident happened on Monday. The DPO, who
was on mufti while he disobeyed the traffic law,
was said to have driven into a nearby filling
station, parked and changed into his police
uniform to prove to the lady that she was
challenging a senior officer.
He came back, pounced on the female traffic
warden, Inspector Anifat Bello, with serious
beatings.
The lady was discharging her official duty at the
NNPC junction on IBB Boulevard way. The traffic
warden, Inspector Anifat, have been severally
honoured for her dedication to duty, was badly
beaten.
She was reportedly beaten to stupor by the senior
officer who was coming into Abeokuta from
Sagamu end of the expressway.
He dealt with the female officer for having the
guts to stop his private vehicle for alleged traffic
offence.
It will be recalled that former President Olusegun
Obasanjo had, during a familarization visit of
Ogun State police commissioner, Abdulmajid Ali,
recommended the same traffic officer for a
national honour.
When contacted the state Police PRO, Muyiwa
Adejobi, confirmed the incident and said the
Commissioner of Police, was unhappy with the
DPO and had directed that the matter be
investigated.
He said: “The woman traffic officer has reported
the matter to the CP and he has directed that the
matter be thoroughly investigated.
The CP was not happy when the woman came
with a swollen face. If the allegation is true, I am
very sure the CP will know what to do.”
