Mrs Durojaiye Olaleye, Oja Bee’s 68-year-old mum, who was slapped by a Police man has been visited by the Police.
Mrs Durojaiye, whose son was nabbed during a peaceful protest on Monday, 12th October, 2020, in Surulere, Lagos, had gone to the Hogan Bassey Divison in the area to plead for her son’s release.
The elderly woman told a journalists on Tuesday, 13th October, that on getting to the station with her daughter Tolu, they met some of the police men and they exchanged greetings, only for an officer to approach them from behind and began to slap her for no reason.
Her story reads underneath...
“It is our duty as a family to go to a police station and ask about our people in their custody. We need to know whether they will release them on bail, so that we can arrange for a lawyer or that they are taking them to court,
They must give us details of what to do. If they are arraigning them, they need to tell us the court so that we will meet them at the court. That was the reason why we went there. I went them with two of my sisters that our people have been arrested since 1 p.m. and this was to 6 p.m.
I was wondering that where is the entrance to this police station then I saw a small gate with a small table there and I said that must be where we’re supposed to ask and they will tell us what to do.
As we were about going to that place, we just heard a commanding tone behind us that “all of you, get out of this place.” As I looked back to check what was happening, I heard the slap ‘gboah’
Going further, she said;
“We had not even mentioned anything before he slapped me. What did I do wrong? What is it? He slapped me again.
The police that were around just gathered together to hold him back and he started struggling with them and he came back again and gave me another slap”
Nevertheless, her daughter Tolu has taken to to her Twitter page to reveal that the Police sent some delegates to their house to apologize to her mum and her son, Oja Bee.
Her tweets reads below...
