Three Female Police Officers Stripped Nak’ed in Edo State

Three female police officers who went to make an arrest at Oregbeni quarters in Ikpoba-Okha local government area of Edo State were today beaten and stripped naked. And according to TheNation, the police officers are currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.

They were invited by a landlady in the area to arrest one of her tenants when a fracas ensued. Trouble started when the tenant insisted on taking her bath before going to the police station but the police officers said she should follow them. A fracas ensued and other residents in the area joined the tenant
to beat and strip the police officers.

The landlady who gave her name as Mrs. Okebuse said she invited the police because she had given the tenants quit notice. She said:
“When the police came to make arrest, they started fighting the police. I ran for my life and hid in the other compound.”
An eyewitness said the landlady uses police to harass her tenants.
“The woman was taking her bath and the police officers refused to allow the woman to take her bath,” the eyewitness said.
