BREAKING: Outrage As Lady Accuses Police Officer of Stabbing Father in Ekiti, “He’s Still Walking Free”
A lady has taken to social media to cry for justice after a police officer allegedly attacked her father with a knife at their home in the Ise-Ekiti area of Ekiti state.
In a trending video making the rounds on social media, the lady claimed that the officer, allegedly a chairman’s personal orderly, launched an attack on her father in their home, following a disagreement between her younger brother and a female classmate.
According to her, the girl had reported the argument to her boyfriend which resulted in two police officers confronting the family and claiming they were there to make an arrest.
In one of the clips with her dad at the hospital, she said:
“I’m currently in Ise. This is my dad lying helplessly in the hospital. My kid brother had an argument with a classmate. An argument led to an argument. The girl angrily went on to call her boyfriend so that he would come and fight my kid brother at home. But when they got home, they did not meet my kid brother. They only met his elder brother.
“As we speak to you right now, this person who actually stabbed my dad is a police officer who works here. He is a police officer here in Ise Orun district. This is my dad. This is his belly. This thing happened yesterday.”
Speaking further, she expressed her displeasure that despite the severity of the incident, the officer remains unarrested, with authorities citing procedural protocols.
She argued that if the roles were reversed, the outcome would likely be different.
She appealed to higher authorities, including the president and commissioner of police, to intervene and ensure justice is served.
“Please, Mr. President, please. Commissioner of Police, please. Every effort, at this point, please, we need your help. Please come through for us and serve justice,” she said.
