LADY DETERMINES TO SEEK JUSTICE DUE TO THE FACT SHE WAS BEATEN BY A BRIBE-SEEKING POLICEMAN

A lady identified as Chioma Pius has vowed to fight for justice days after some bribe seeking policemen assaulted her for having tattoos.

Here is what she wrote on her official FB page;

"I experienced the worst day of my life on Monday. I was brutalised by some police oficers in the Emohua area of the Rivers State; at a highway leading to Bayelsa State.

"My crime was that I tattooed my body. A police officer asked me to step down from a taxi I was travelling in from Bayelsa to Port Harcourt. I asked to know why; je ignored my question and asked again that I should step out of the car, so I got out of the car.

"He asked to know who I was and what I did for a living because of the tattoo on my body. I gladly introduced myself with a big smile on my face. My phone rang, but I couldn't answer (the call). The policeman told me to identify myself to his superior, which I found funny. I was just looking at the guy when he said I should be detained; that I didn't have manners and that I was a cult member, prostitute and armed robber. There was no disgusting name those men didn't call me.

"I just laughed the insults off and told them I would not enter their mobile cell. They seixed my phone, so I couldn't record them. They searched my purse and when they couldn't find any money, the got angry and said I didn't have money and I was showing off.

"Before I knew it, one of the officers grabbed my trousers and pushed me into the van, while the other guy slapped and punched me repeatedly. I asked why they were beating me up, but their leader used the butt of the gun to hit my laps. He went away and came back with a cane and flogged me. He pushed me into their mobile cell."
