A police officer identified as Steven has landed in serious trouble after physically assaulting a woman who refused his lover advances.

The sad incident happened yesterday night.

According to Sapele Oghenek, the police officer who was in plain cloth had accosted the girl at Urhobo Rd by McPherson Junction and asked her out. The girl on an errand for the sister refused the advances from the police officer.

The police officer held the girl’s hand, but the girl couldn’t have it.

Angered by that act, the police officer began beating the girl in front of people. Those who tried to help the girl were beaten as well. When things were about to get out of hand, the police officer brought out gun and shot in the air before entering his motorcycle and zooming off.

The case was later taken to the Main Station police station where the DPO ordered that the police officer be detained. It was at that moment that the officer began begging for help.
