A policewoman with the Lagos State Police Command identified simply as Yemisi is in the eye of the storm after a housewife, Atinuke Odeleye, accused her of assault.
learnt that the incident, which occurred on Tuesday evening in the Igando area of the state where the couple resides, marked the height of a running battle between Atinuke and the policewoman.Our correspondent who spoke with the parties involved in the issue got different accounts of the incident.
Atinuke stated, “She started threatening me on the phone. I went to report her at the Igando Police Station on Saturday, September 7. I gave them a picture she and my husband took together. When they called her on the phone, she said she was on duty and promised to come to the station later. I learnt she later went there and told them that she was pregnant for my husband.
She said, “Her husband married me as his second wife and I know his family. We have done introduction and I am pregnant for him. Why would I break something on her head? There was a day a relation of our husband called both of us to settle our differences, she slapped me three times there. I didn’t do anything so that people would not say I am using my position as a police officer to cheat her.
Abiodun, an estate agent and a road transport union official, said Yemisi had visited him at a shop within his vicinity when his wife saw her.
