3 policewomen stripped naked during arrest in Edo

Three female police officers who went to make an arrest at Oregbeni
quarters in Ikpoba-Okha local government area of Edo State were on
Wednesday beaten and stripped naked.



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.
The Nation gathered that 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 immediately.



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.



The state's Police Commissioner, Foluso Adebanjo, who expressed
disappointment at the attack, said the police would not take the
attack likely.
Adebanjo said the attackers would be made to face the full wrath of the law.
He said suspects arrested have already been charged to court.
