| PICTURE FROM THE BRUTAL SCENE |
A police officer with the Mopol 20 in Lagos identified as Tafa Mohammed was filmed brutalizing 2 women at Lewis Street, Lafiaji, Obalende, Lagos Island, after one of the ladies, a street food vendor, refused to sell him fish to finish up his beer.
According to Sahara Reporters, the food seller was said to have declined to sell fish alone, except to those buying food with it, a vendor policy that angered the policeman. The policeman got really angry and targeted a female customer who was buying food from the same vendor and pulled the women into muddy water where he physically assaulted her. It was reported that the food seller was badly injured also.
This is so sad and demeaning of our policemen and also of our men. I say men because u are first a man before a policeman. Were there no men eating there before he chose to mount on a woman to express his grievances? I hear the officer has been arrested and he is being investigated but I trust it won't go beyond that. These are the kind of harassment women go through everyday and the perpetrators of these deeds end up going free and unpunished. This makes it a circle, it keeps going round and round and endlessly. Women when would we learn to fight back? Who fights the woman's cause? This would be a topic for another day.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Woman must not accept; she must challenge. She must not be awed by that which has built up around her; she must reverence that woman within her which struggles for expression" - Margaret Sanger.

Tafa's actions cannot go unpunished....am sure the Force will act accordingly. Brutalizing women is a terrible thing to do.
So sad a story, but I can bet that like similar cases in the past, nothing is going to be done to the policeman.
