Nigeria police force: my ordeal- By Femi Badejo Sometime in November, an employee of Access Bank Plc, Mr. Femi Badejo and his security guard, Joshua Moses, were shot by policemen after they responded to a distress call about a robbery at the banker’s home in the Ikota area of Lagos. (If you missed it see it HERE ) Femi is finally out of the hospital and is telling his own side of the story. See it below... As I discussed the armed robberyincident with other occupants within our apartment complex, we noticed the gate open slightlyfollowed by the unmistakable sounds of a war grade AK47 rifle." At the Instant, I docked under a car in the apartment complex and noticed my security guard groaning excruciating a few meters from my location. Why didthese robbers come back? Iaskedrhetorically and prayed to be spared. Then as I heard the next round of shots, I felt the venom of the automatic rifle spew all over my body. So intense were the sharp burst of pains that I was on the verge of passing out when the words "Police" was heard from the shooter". A surgeof deeply felt anger immediately numbed the pains from the five gunshot wounds - one in my feet, two in my thigh, one in my bicep and one in my wrist - as I identified myself as a tenant in the apartment complex. Femi leaving the hospital Why did he not identify himself earlier as required by his training? Did the words "This is the police" "Freeze" "Don't move"go on vacation in police parlance? Why will a police officer shoot an unarmed man five times under a car despite having his hands over his head? My case is a bizarre one.
