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,”
