Court remands woman over assault of police woman in Lagos
A Lagos State Magistrates’ court sitting in Etiosa, Ajah, had ordered the remand of one Omorogbe Jennifer Soni, in Kirikiri prison for assaulting a police woman.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin disclosed this in a statement on his official X handle on Monday.
An X user, Umasom Jeremiah (@umasomjere19798), on February 26, 2024, posted a video that captured the suspect pushing to the ground the police woman who was about to deflate Jennifer’s tyre for a yet to be known offence.
According to the state police spokesperson, the suspect who committed the offence on February 21, was arrested the next day, and will remain in custody until the next hearing on March 27.
The statement read, “The Lagos State Police Command has arraigned one Omorogbe Jennifer Soni ‘f’ aged 26 for serious assault after she was caught on camera assaulting a police officer in Ajah on February 21, 2024. Omorogbe was arraigned the following day, February 22, 2024 at the Etiosa Magistrate Court, Ajah and has been remanded at the Kirikiri Female Correctional Centre until the next hearing on March 27, 2024.’’
He urged Lagosians to remain law-abiding but warned that “anyone found guilty of violating the law would be dealt with in accordance with the law.”
