A Lagos businessman, Bebex, has been accused of slapping a married nursing mother, Omolara James who rebuffed him for allegedly asking her how much it would cost to touch her breasts.
The matter has generated so much heat since the arrest of the said man that the Lagos State Commissioner of Police have to personally interview the accused and the accuser together with all others involved including the police officers investigating the matter and their DPO who has now been relieved of his posting.
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) tried to explain the situation through his Twitter handle and wrote:
“For those that would come back to ask for updates, please endeavor to be at the Samuel Ilori Court House, Ogba, Lagos this morning to see things for yourself and possibly update us all. We’ve done our part. The judiciary takes it from here.
“ONGOING: Due to multifarious interests in this matter and the need to ensure justice, @LagosPoliceNG CP Idowu Owohunwa is personally interviewing all parties in this case. @Lagosdsva, community members, landlord association, councilor representing the area Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR), Omolara and family, Bebex and his employees, and lawyers representing both sides are in attendance.
“It is elating and morale-boosting that we now have a willing complainant and as a result, a tenable case to present in court.
“CP Idowu Owohunwa, having carefully listened to all parties, has established that there are indeed cases to answer and has therefore directed that the matter be charged to court immediately.
“The CP also identified professional misconduct on the part of some of the police officers involved in the case. For this, the Command Provost has been directed to immediately commence disciplinary action against the officers concerned.
“And finally, the DPO Mushin, in whose Divison all the officers aforementioned are serving, has been relieved of his posting with immediate effect.”
For those that would come back to ask for updates, please endeavor to be at the Samuel Ilori Court House, Ogba, Lagos this morning to see things for yourself and possibly update us all.
We’ve done our part. The judiciary takes it from here. 🫡 https://t.co/0Mud8iV4NY
