A woman has called for justice after accusing a police officer of stabbing her father during an incident at their home in the Ise-Ekiti area of Ekiti State.
In a viral video circulating on social media, the woman alleged that the officer—believed to be a personal order to a local government chairman—attacked her father following a dispute that stemmed from an earlier disagreement between her younger brother and a female classmate.
She explained that the girl had reported the incident to her boyfriend, who involved the police.
The woman further stated that two officers arrived at their residence, claiming they were there to make an arrest.
In one of the videos making rounds, the lady with her dad in the hospital was heard saying: “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.
“They started questioning the elder brother. They asked him to follow them to the police station that they want to arrest him. It was only one of them that went inside first.
“And he started challenging them saying what did I do? Why are you taking me to the station? What is my offence? Then the guy started rushing him. He started hitting him. He started blowing him.
“Then he (her elder brother) started calling on my dad to come out because my dad was not in the room with him. He started calling my dad to come out that some guys were hitting him. My dad coming out to come and separate them and ask what is going on. Why are you hitting my son?
“Then the next person came from nowhere, removed a knife and stabbed my dad in his belly. He stabbed my dad in his belly. But fortunately, my dad was able to use his hand to guide the knife. And this knife tore his hand.
“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.
“And as we speak right now, both the guy that went to call the police officer, and the two police officers, they are still roaming about freely and nothing is happening.
“They are doing absolutely nothing because they said he is a police officer, they don’t just arrest a police officer like that.
“So, I think this guy has been doing this to everybody. My dad is not the first person. Everybody is complaining about this guy and he’s still working. He’s still in service. What is going on? This guy has been doing this thing and because he’s a chairman orderly, they left him there and they said there is a procedure.
“There is a procedure before they will detain that man. There is a procedure before they will dismiss him. But if it’s a normal person like me now that did that, by now I’ll be in jail and nothing is happening.
“I do not understand why a police officer should be stabbing a civilian. So police carry knife up and down, as per cultist. They say that the police is our friend, right? I do not understand. I still do not get it. I cannot fathom till now why a police officer should be moving around with such a weapon, just to be stabbing and killing innocent civilians.”
In another clip she said: “Go back to the street that you are and join that cultist. You are not meant to be a police and I’ll make sure they dismiss you. I have the right to talk. I’ll make sure they dismiss you.
“If at the end of the day, nothing happens, your face will be posted everywhere on the internet. And I’ll make sure you get dismissed. Murderer!
“It’s the chairman that is on his back. He’s a chairman’s orderly. He’s smiling. He doesn’t feel any remorse. He went home to go and stab my dad yesterday, and he’s still walking, still free. And he’s still smiling.
“They are telling us that there is a procedure. Nigeria Police Ise Osun Division. They say nothing will happen. We are strangers, and they are going to treat us like strangers that we are. That nothing is going to happen. I will not keep quiet.
“A police officer did this in this apartment as you guys can see. A police officer with another police officer, there were two. They came into my father’s apartment to do this.
“They came here to actually kill him, but fortunately they did not succeed. Look at what they did to my dad. Look at what a policeman did to my dad without him committing any crime. He did not steal from anybody. He did not kill anybody. He did absolutely nothing. But they did this to him, all because two people had an argument.
“A police officer, It’s a very shameful thing for the department of police to do this. This is a terrible injustice and I’m not going to let it slide. We can’t even trust the police anymore. They say police is our friend, but at this point, we don’t even know what is going on again. Every here I’m there, bad news on police.
“My dad almost lost his life yesterday. How can a police officer be stabbing someone, like a police officer is stabbing a civilian? The police is really our friend. Let’s see how it’s going to end. This country don go because I don’t understand.
“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.
“Please, come to our aid. Everybody, help me and tag the Commissioner of Police. They should do something about this because this cannot keep happening. I don’t know what this country is turning into. This is really unfair. Nigeria is failing us for real. You people should do something about this.”
