Yesterday, I told y'all about two sisters who were charged to court for fighting a woman..Well, those sisters are now in Kirikiri and will be there until at
least Monday. Their father wasn't able to meet their bail conditions
yesterday, which included four sureties (plus himself) in person. He had
the N40k bail money but not the sureties. Below is a full account of
what happened – told by the
sisters and their father and written by a family friend. Read below...
Chienyenwa was dozing on a chair owned by Mummy Ada. The
owner of the chair, Mummy Ada, went to her and pulled the chair from under her
and warned her never to sit on her chair again. Chienyenwa fell down and after
getting up challenged the lady and asked her why she pulled the chair when she
could have simply asked her to get up. Mummy Ada, incensed that Chienyenwa
talked back at her, held her by the neck of her shirt and slapped her. Chienyenwa
immediately retaliated and slapped her back and fight ensued.
Mummy Ada got a black eye in the fight while Chienyenwa had
her shirt and bra torn from her body. When one of the neighbors came out to
separate them, Chienyenwa quickly ran inside to cover up and her father/younger
sister rushed outside to see/ask what was happening. Upon seeing the father,
Mummy Ada, jumped on him and accused him of sending his daughter to beat her
up.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com.. She then picked up a broom and started flogging him with it. The man fenced
off the blows asking her to calm down and explain what happened. The woman
(probably frustrated that her blows were not making any impact) changed tacticsand
tried to strip the man naked. She succeeded in pulling the man’s short knickers
down before the man even knew what she was about.
The younger daughter seeing that her father was near naked,
joined the fight and tried to strip the woman naked too and threatened to break
a bottle on her. Luckily the woman had leggings/tights on.
After neighbors separated the fight, both parties went their
way. Mummy Ada started threatening fire and brimstone. That she would deal with
them and makes sure they rot in jail for ganging up on her.
She partly made true her threats as before you knew it,
policemen had arrived and taken the 2 daughters away to Ogudu Police Station.
The father got their on his own to release the girls and was told that the
officer in charge of the matter was not around and they had express orders that
bail was not to be granted to the girls until the officer arrived.
The girls slept at the Station that night. The following
day, the father didn’t attend work and went to station to see about bailing his
daughters. He eventually bailed them after paying about NGN 11, 500. The police
then asked him and his daughters to remain available as the case was still
ongoing.
The father, not wanting the case to get worse, met elders
and askedthem to beg the woman and her husband on his family’s behalf.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com.. I guess
they didn’t accept the plea because the police called and invited the man and
his daughters to the police station today and served them court papers. They
were handcuffed and told to produce bail of N40k so the case would be adjourned
– failure of which they would be transferred to Kirikiri.
Last update is that
they have now been taken to a court at Alausa, Ikeja.
A bit of history: Being neighbors (Mummy Ada has a shop in
the same compound where the girls live), there have been no love lost between the
two parties; Mummy Ada would accuse them on not greeting her and spreading rumors
about her and the sisters in turn would accuse Mummy Ada of spreading rumors
about them too and calling them foul
names and other provocative behavior, For example, they said Mummy Ada would
start singing provocative/mocking songs whenever she saw them and would always
find something funny whenever they were passing.
Having said this and while I totally abhor disrespect and
any form of physical fighting, I believe respect should be reciprocal
regardless of age.
This was a clear case of two people fighting. Unfortunately
the lady who hit first (started the fight) is now playing victim
because she has more resources to do this.
Please if anyone has a different version of the story or if
you know the second party, let us hear it.
You don’t lock 2 young sisters up in Kirikiri from Friday –
Monday just because you can. Haba! What did they do? When did a civil case turn
criminal? From Ogudu Police Station, to Ogudu court, to Special task Force Alausa, to Kirikiri in handcuffs..
And the instigator is flaunting about, beating
her chest and boasting ‘‘yes! I said it, i have locked them up!’’
I’m appalled at our Judiciary system and Police Force. Apologies
to the honest and hardworking ones but this is the sad truth. A policemen in Ogudu
even had the guts to ask the father ‘how much you give me?’
Mummy Ada: Laugh all you want now, but Karma
will surely catch up with you. Pray you don't see problems that all the money in
this world cannot/will not solve. You have falsely accused these girls, paraded false evidence,
didn’t give them opportunity to defend themselves and paid your way to
getting them locked up. No forget say you get children too o. Same measure,
pressed down, shaken together and running over you will receive. This is not a
curse. It is a promise and if you don't repent, you will get what’s coming
to you as surely as God lives..
