A Nigerian woman identified as
Chioma Pius has demanded for justice after being beaten mercilessly by police
officers for having tattoos on her body.
According to her, she could not
record the brutal incident because the officers seized her phones.
The woman said she was assaulted
along Emohua axis at the highway leading to Bayelsa.
Narrating her ordeal, the young
lady on her Facebook wall @ChiomaPius wrote: “Today was a horrible day. I
experienced the worst day in my life. Today I was brutalized by police
officers. This happened at emohua axis of river state. At the highway leading
to bayelsa. My crime was that I tattooed my body. In this modern age. A police
officer asked me to step down from the taxi I was traveling with from bayelsa
to portharcourt. I asked to know why and he asked again so I got out of the car
and then he asked to know who I was and what I did.
“I gladly introduced myself after
which i had a big smile on my face and my phone rang but I couldn’t answer and
then he said I should I identify myself to his superior which i found funny and
I was just looking at the guy when he said I should get detained. That I don’t
have manners and that am a cultist, prostitute, armrobber, there is no
disgusting name this men didn’t call me and all this time I was just laughing
and telling them am not entering their mobile cell. They seized my phones so I
couldn’t record them.
“They searched my purse And when
they couldn’t find any money they got more angry And said that I don’t even
have money And am showing myself And before I know if one of the officers
grabbed me by my trousers and pushed me to the van and the other guy slapped me
and punched me repeatedly. I was asking why they are beating me up and their boss
used his gun to hit me on my thighs, went away came back with cane And was
flogging me And calling me names. And pushed me into their cell. During the
struggle I lost my ring and while this was happening they were collecting money
from highway drivers and letting them through without searching them.
” These guys are animals, they
touched the wrong one and will not go unpunished. They sent away my taxi
driver. Passerbys were watching but couldn’t do anything.
“I will not be humiliated for no
reason. This police officers are not here to protect us but only to hurt
innocent ones but its enough what’s wrong with one tattooing their body. Please
share and repost.”

Nigeria police, goat in a sheep skin, after all the boss IG and commissioner will say his men are devoted they don't do bad, I pray one day their cup will full. As event unfolding
ReplyDeletePolice this is wrong!!very wrong!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they were not even meant to be mounting check points in that location. If it was a legal check point their division would know who these guys are.
Just because you are in uniform and possess fire arm does not give you the audacity to humiliate our fellow citiizens regardless of who or what they did. Leave justice to the courts instead of meting out jungle justice.
On behalf of well mannered civillised Nigerians we can only say sorry to the poor lady but really it's not good enough.
Nigerian police is as irresponsible as irresponsibility itself
ReplyDeleteThe police must be jailed and dismissed from the Police Force.
