Read how a Lagos police officer brutally assaulted Nigerian actress Elma Godwin

Earlier today actress Elma Godwin had reported about how she and her friends were assaulted by a Lagos police man in Victoria island. 

She continued from the photo 

"this did not even allow us to even see his name or his badge so we know how to address him. 

So I picked up my phone to call for help and before I knew it, he forcefully snatched my phone and bag back! " and even trying to get the attention of the few passerby incase anyone could help. 

Insults fly as things get heated up, he threatens us multiple times that he will use his belt on us and then I managed to grab my friends bag, but my phone remained in his possession. 

He started insulting my parents,  "God punish your mother and father! Your father is an idiot! "

I screamed "you're holding my property! Give me my phone! This is stealing! The police are stealing! "and that was

when he released his grip of my phone and I started walking back to my car.

He chased me and started pushing  and slammed my body against the car. 

Thank God my door was still open I jumped in, locked the door and my friend zoomed off. 

As we drove off work  felt a sharp pain, I realised I was bleeding on my right hand and three of my nails had been broken. How can a police officer assault me like this? 

This is gross misuse of power and brutality.. 

We called police control, Rapid Response Service (RRS) and the emergency switch board (112).

They weren't helpful at all, instead asked us what we expect them to do and were frankly not concerned. 

Someone from RRS advised I go home and call back at 7am. 

The emergency switch board told me they would forward my details and we should expect a call back. 

Till now, no call back. 

This has opened my eyes to the fact that WE ARE NOT SAFE IN NIGERIA!!! 

Think about it..if I were being brutally raped robbed or attacked and I called our so called emergency service, nobody would show up. 

It's a sobering thought to think that.;

1. The ones who should be protecting you are the ones to really be afraid of 

2. If something horrible happens, there's no Calvary, there's no red and blue sirens coming to your aid.. 

You're on your own! 

Hmm...  What do you think?...
