Medical doctors in an undisclosed private hospital at Idimu
area of Lagos are currently battling to save the life of a pregnant woman, Mrs.
Gloria James who was allegedly beaten to a state of coma by children of a
Mobile Policeman attached to MOPOL 20, Inspector Richard Ekpo.
Unfortunately, for the woman, efforts by doctors to save her
two months pregnancy failed.
Mrs. Gloria Oluwatomiwa James was allegedly attacked by one
of the policeman's son identified simply as Olorunda in front of her shop at
Idimu Mammy market during a verbal confrontation.
Trouble, as gathered, started when she demanded for an
apology from Olorunda whom she said stepped on her while he was going to smoke
Indian hemp from a local dealer around her shop.
Rather than apologise, Olorunda, as gathered, reportedly was
not any remorseful but confronted her. He allegedly pounced on the pregnant
woman for daring to ask him to apologise and gave her a thorough beating.
Consequently she was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
According to her, "Last Friday, I was sitting in front
of my boutique because there was no light, when a young man came to buy Indian
hemp from one of the local dealers around. As he was trying to sneak in to
avoid being seen, he stepped on my feet. As I bent to move his leg, he asked
why I was touching him rather than apologise.”
Even when I showed him the sand from the sole of his
slippers that was still on my feet, he still insisted that he didn't step on
me. An argument ensued during which he threatened to deal ruthlessly with me if
I opened my mouth to talk again. Before I could respond, he slapped and started
hitting me.
"Other shop owners who came to rescue me from his grips
withdrew immediately they discovered he was the one. This is because everyone
is afraid of him in that area. That was how he continued to hit me, even when I
ran inside my shop. It took the intervention of a policeman in uniform to
rescue me from him."
When her husband went to report the ugly development to
the Mobile Policeman, he was also attacked by his children.
the Mobile Policeman, he was also attacked by his children.
Eyewitnesses reported that the area is not only noted for
smoking Indian hemp but also a haven for cultists. Although, there had
reportedly been several raids and subsequent arrests by policemen, but that has
not stopped the deed.
