A 40 year old man, Chima Ordu was said to have been remanded in Lagos prison after taking photographs of a policewoman taking bribes from Motorists. A presiding magistrate of the Isolo Customary Court ordered that he should be remanded
Total Media reports that the policewoman was flagging down
motorists and collecting bribes from them at the Oludegun Junction in Isolo
when Ordu decided to take her photos with his phone but he was arrested by the
woman's colleagues in the act.
It was gathered that the policewoman and her colleagues usually
mounted the illegal road block and collected bribes from motorists at the junction on a daily basis.
Ordu
however, found himself in trouble when he allegedly hid behind a fence and took
photographs and video recording of the female officer not knowing that her
colleagues who were in plain clothes had seen him and stealthily sneaked in and
arrested him.
He was thereafter charged to the court on a one-count charge
obstruction by snapping photos of a police officer performing her lawful duty
under the Criminal Code.
Ordu
pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him and Magistrate Adeyemi
granted him bail in the sum of N20,000 with one surety in like sum while
ordering that he should remain in prison custody pending when he will perfect
his bail.
