A policeman got more than he bargained for after he called a woman a prostitute in Lagos.

Unknown to the policeman, the woman he just dismissed as an “ashawo“ [prostitute] was a Nigeria Army Colonel.

According to Uche Odege MONDIAL/@ucheodege, who narrated the incident on Twitter, the Colonel handled the situation by giving the policeman a ‘hot slap’.

When she identified herself after the slap, the policeman and his colleagues apologised profusely.

A group of police stopped a guy with his girlfriend. Demanded for identification. The policeman inside d car was already telling others that the girl can never have identity as “she is an ashawo“. The lady was very silent

I went closer to talk to the police. I told him I know of someone who has been working hard to ensure police is reformed. The policeman asked, “is it SEGA @segalink ? The lady said “wait it’s not yet Sega issue, I can handle it”

I immediately realized that both the police and the lady know @segalink .

The next I saw was a HOT slap on the policeman’s face. She now identified as a Colonel. Now the policemen are apologizing for their loud mouth.
