Early last month a female police officer, Mercy John, reportedly disarmed two robbers who attempted to dispose her of her belongings at Egbeda-Shasha by Tawakalitu Close, Orisunmibare Road in Lagos. She has been rewarded by the Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola in a ceremony that was held on Thursday at the Lagos House, Ikeja.
In the Governor's remarks shortly before the state’s Security Council meeting at the ceremony, Governor Fashola, encouraged her not to relent in her efforts in the course of her duty.
“Let me say very clearly that I value the work that you do, people of Lagos valued what you do and where ever you come from, this is your home and I think it is right to say that it was because you take this as home, you did the right thing, you took two robbers out of commission so that the people of Lagos can sleep well,” the Governor said.
She also recovered her bag and a locally made pistol with two live cartridges in the process. She is currently attached to the Provost’s Department, State Police Headquarters, Lagos State.
“Let me say very clearly that I value the work that you do, people of Lagos valued what you do and where ever you come from, this is your home and I think it is right to say that it was because you take this as home, you did the right thing, you took two robbers out of commission so that the people of Lagos can sleep well,” the Governor said.
