Nigerians react as professor arrested for ordering the beating of her female police orderly

Nigerians on social media have faulted the deployment of police orderly for the protection of a university professor after the officer was allegedly assaulted by the don.

The female officer, who was assigned to a female professor identified as one Dike Zainab, was said to have been admitted to a hospital after she was allegedly tortured on the order of her principal.

The incident, it was gathered, happened at the Area 11 axis of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The orderly was said to have been assigned to the don by the Police Force Headquarters in Abuja.

A video clip showing the officer in uniform bleeding, seated on the floor, and asking to be taken to the hospital for medical attention has since gone viral.

Twitter user, @DejiAdesogan who shared a photo of the policewoman with a bloodied face wrote;

DISTURBING NEWS: Reports of one Prof Dike Zainab of Area 11 in Abuja who allegedly assaulted her Police Orderly & also ordered her maids to beat her up. Thorough investigation & prosecution of the culprits will serve as deterrent to others. Totally inhumane & unacceptable!!!

Nigerian Police Force spokesperson, Ademuyiwa Adejobi has now confirmed the arrest of the Professor. He also said the case will be taken to court.

Adejobi said;

She and her maids that did that thing should get the deserving punishment. There is still the VAPP act is place to be enforced. That is totally unacceptable

You will now understand that we don't hate police. We only need them to operate to standard. See the way we are worried about her situation.

When I see you post like this 'We will charge to court'…. You always sound like you have already reached a verdict and they are guilty. Anyway, you trust the judiciary system. They will always rule in the favour of the state.
