Lady pours soup on policeman, tears woman police’s uniform + video

Police have provided details why four police personnel seen in a viral video assaulted a woman.

The incident, according to the Delta State Police Command, occurred n the Agbarho area of the state.

Spokesman for the command, DSP Bright Edafe, provided a new video that told the story.

Edafe said the initial video did not tell the entire story of what happened and how it started.

He explained that the supposed dehumanised woman in the viral video smashed the windscreen of a vehicle of a complainant and then assaulted a woman police who went to invite her by tearing her uniform.

The woman police was said to have called for a backup.

When the backup arrived at the place, the woman threw a pot of soup at them.

Edafe said, “While the actions of the policemen who assaulted the woman in Agbarho were excessive and have been outright condemned by the command and the force management, it is also important to give details of the incident as some media houses have been requesting.

“On 22nd March 2023, one Thankgod James reported that the said woman smashed his vehicle’s windscreen and assaulted him. On the strength of this report, a woman police was sent to invite her.

“The suspect became aggressive, and assaulted the woman police, tore her dress. So the policewoman called for reinforcement, when the reinforcement arrived, the woman again poured a pot of soup on one of the policemen even while he was in uniform.

“Visuals are attached (available). While condemning the actions of the policemen, and as the command has assured members of the public that they will be duly sanctioned, it’s also important for members of the public to behave themselves, and exercise restraints when interfacing with the police.”
