Festaconline Media brings you another edition of FOVoices where we share experiences of residents experience and ordeals here in the Amuwo-Odofin community.
In this edition, we bring you the story of a lady who was at the risk of almost getting shot by a police officer while conducting a search in their vehicle.
The police people at durbar behind ShopRite are becoming a nuisance as a resident of Amuwo Odofin gave an ordeal she had with the officers.
Sharing her story, she said; “One almost shot me today for refusing to open a client’s package of which was written boldy ‘if tampered with, do not receive item”, on my way back to the office”.
He literally took his gun up and cocked it and wanted to shoot
“It was about past 12 during the day when we passed the back of ShopRite to head back to the office when the Uber we were in was flagged down. We were in our uniforms and they asked us what we were carrying, after explaining to them it was our work equipment one of the policemen saw a carton labeled Do not receive if the package is broken and insisted on us opening it”.
“When I explained that our client could not receive the item if the packaging were broken he brought up his gun and cocked it ready to shoot saying I was stubborn, we had to break open the seal and showed him before he let us go, the client was mad but understood after explaining to her. Not everyone will take that lightly”.
