Three female police
officers who went to make an arrest at Oregbeni quarters in Ikpoba-Okha local
government area of Edo State were on Wednesday beaten and stripped naked.
The
police officers are currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
They
were invited by a landlady in the area to arrest one of her tenants when a
fracas ensued.
The
Nation gathered that trouble started when the tenant insisted on taking her
bath before going to the police station but the police officers said she should
follow them.
A
fracas ensued and other residents in the area joined the tenant to beat and stripped
the police officers.
The
landlady who gave her name as Mrs. Okebuse said she invited the police because
she had given the tenants quit notice.
She
said, “When the police came to make arrest, they started fighting the police. I
ran for my life and hid in the other compound.”
An
eyewitness said the landlady uses police to harass her tenants.
“The
woman was taking her bath and the police officers refused to allow the woman to
take her bath,” the eyewitness said.
The
state’s Police Commissioner, Foluso Adebanjo, who expressed disappointment at
the attack, said the police would not take the attack likely.
Adebanjo
said the attackers would be made to face the full wrath of the law.
He
said suspects arrested have already been charged to court.
