Our correspondent encountered the incident around GRA, near Kilimanjaro junction, and the victim of the wrongful arrest and harassment by the police turned to be a female legal practitioner, IBINABO AMACHREE.
The woman said she was taking her son to school when she encountered a scene where a pick-up truck driver knocked down a pedestrian and tried to escape.
IBINABO AMACHREE managed to identify one of the mobile policemen who cocked their guns at her as NASIR GARBA.
Another lawyer MARIAN WOKOCHA, who is a member of the International Federation of Women Lawyers, also confirmed what happened to IBINABO AMACHREE.
WOKOCHA said it has become a common occurrence for members of the public, especially women, to face harassment by the police and other security operatives.
There has not been any reaction from the Rivers State Police Command to the incident.
