In what seem to be a case of Mistaken Identity, the Lagos Police raided the home of a young lady identified as Medina Faith Billy and meted out what she described as great injustice to her and tenants of the house they live in.
According to her, the men of the Lagos Police Command numbering up to 30 along with some thugs known as ‘Area Boys’ stormed their residence and evicted everyone without proper notice.
The problem with the forcefull eviction however was that the men had visited the wrong house and had ejected the wrong occupants. Upon noticing the error, the lady continued that the policemen failed to tender their unreserved apology and let the occupants in as they demanded a sum of money before opening the gate to their residence.
She wrote this on her Facebook wall:
“There is no law in this country anymore. Some men came from the Lagos High Court to our house to evacuate all our things without a day’s quit notice, not even a month’s notice.
I was telling them to call the landlord but they insisted that the order was from the High Court of Lagos. The policemen that came were up to 30 and the agbero that came with them were up to 40.
I was explaining to them they came to the wrong house because we have two 21s in our street but they didn’t listen. They were throwing all my property like ball, damaging my AC and other things.
I said to myself where is the law in this country because police that were meant to support and protect the citizens of this country, were the same police pointing guns at their citizens just because they have guns.
After throwing all our property outside, they locked gate. They later realised that they had come to the wrong house. They locked the gate and asked us to pay them money to take the property back to our apartment.”
