This police officer obviously couldn’t believe it. Look at his eyes: he was surprised. And he looks helpless too as the women effectively placed him under arrest inside market – with his uniform fully kitted.
The incident occurred at Watt Market in Calabar, Cross River State and has since gone viral. According to the story, the policeman was after a suspected ‘Yahoo Boy’ who ran inside the market. The policeman followed him into the market. But unfortunately, the officer mistakenly tipped the goods one of the traders were selling.
The woman sprang up, turned and held him to the neck. The officer must pay for the damaged wares, she was demanding in the video. Immediately, a sea of other market women gathered to support their colleague, all of them speaking in one voice that the officer wasn’t going anywhere until he paid.
The incident, though, funny, has generated a lot of reactions. While some consider it quite inappropriate for the women to so “disgrace” a police officer in the public, others supported that the woman trader deserves full compensation.
