The couple who were battered by a policeman in Lekki are suing for N100m.Ejeh
and Grace
Smith,were battered by a corporal who stopped their taxi. The suit was
filed on their behalf by the Femi Falana Chamber, asking the police to
pay the couple for the injuries and trauma they suffered from the
officer, Dada Ogunsanya.The statement reads
We are suing the police for N100m. We will finalise all documentations
by Friday and latest by Monday, we will be in court.”“Frankly speaking,
in a democratic setting, what happened to the couple was uncalled for.
It is unfortunate that we now have policemen who have no regard for
citizens’ rights and have little or no regard for authorities.”
“There is need for the society to rise up and checkmate them at this
stage. If we don’t do anything, things could get out of control. The
police said they have started taking some administrative decisions, that
they have transferred the DPO. That is not enough. We want the in-house
administrative discipline publicised in the media,”
