Policeman assaults 25-year-old banker for urinating beside bank A 25-year-old banker, Mr. Ogidan Bolaji, was assaulted by a police officer identified as Kayode Ojo, on Wednesday for urinating outside the premises of his bank, Stanbic IBTC in Sango Ota, Ogun State. Bolaji, who is seeking justice on the matter, reported the case at the Sango Police station but claims the police officers there are trying to cover up the case. In an interview with reporters, he disclosed that he had alighted from his car to make withdrawal from the bank’s ATM when he decided to ease himself. “I was coming from Ifo with a neighbour but on our way, I discovered I was cash-strapped, and needed to make a withdrawal. So, we stopped by at Alisaba, in Ado Odo Ota where the bank is located. “We parked outside their premises and on getting to the ATM, the security guard said there was no network. “I was so pressed that I had to urinate beside my car. Before I knew it, a policeman, came out and without any questioning, hit me with his rod. I asked him what I did wrong, but instead of a reply, he slapped me. “The man in my car and some other security men around the bank came out to intervene. My neighbour was trying to question the policeman on why he slapped me but instead of answering the enquiry, he cocked his gun and pointed it at me, and I had to run away. “I told people to caution him not to fire a shot. I was just a bit unfortunate that he caught me at a close corner and I did not have an escape route. He used the butt of the gun to hit me on my face and I sustained a deep cut.
