“Because he asked me out, that I should befriend him. I said no because I’m a married woman. I cannot befriend you.”

She alleged that besides brutalising her, DCO Ajayi also brought out a Dane gun, and threatened to shoot her but for the intervention of other police personnel and civilians present at the scene.

“My writer was there, two constables and 10 civilians. After doing that, he now went and brought out a Dane gun. He said he would gun me down. The civilian now took me out telling me that I should run away. I said no. If he wants to kill me he should,” she said.
