This is a petition for the attention of the Lagos State governor.
Lola Talabi-Oni was assaulted by a law enforcement officer recently. Her story is one of millions. This is a common occurrence in Lagos judging from a lot of stories.
If the same individuals we rely on to protect us, assault us, what hope do we have? Who can we depend on? We need the government to stand for democracy. Government of the people, for the people and by the people. Show us the law is relevant. Demonstrate no one is above the law.
Bring Mr Mutiu and his cohorts at the CBD to justice and do this publicly and transparently to set a precedent for assault cases like this.
Simply STOP THE ASSAULT!!

I have been sitting here reading through all these terrifying accounts people are sending in and honestly it is just overwhelming how many people have had their lives ruined by these same officers. I am trying to figure out the best way to get this directly into the right hands at the governor's office because waiting for them to notice us on their own feels like a losing battle.

I keep refreshing the page because the sheer scale of this response is honestly dizzying and it feels like people are finally waking up to the reality of what happened to Lola. Nobody should have to live in fear of the very people tasked with our safety so seeing all this energy behind the demand for justice is honestly hitting me hard.

These guys at CBD are notorious. They really think they are above the law. Govt must step in before things get out of hand.
Too many stories like this. If they can touch her they can touch anyone. Lagos state needs to clean up the force.
This is totally unacceptable. Everyone in Lagos knows the fear of dealing with these officers. They act like they own us.
Terrible abuse of power. I hope she gets justice because this is just heart breaking to read.
Enough is enough. Really tired of the harassment everywhere we turn.

Justice for Lola!! They keep doing this because they know they will get away with it. Someone needs to be punished for once.
