A cop is begging the police chief to save her from her boss. Police Inspector Alonge Bridget from the Sabo Division in Yaba, Lagos, has petitioned Inspector-General Kayode Egbetokun, accusing senior officer Josephine Okeme of repeated assault, threats, and harassment. She claims Okeme, the Divisional Traffic Officer, first hit her in the chest in February 2025, causing an illness that required medical care, then slapped her without reason in November 2025 at the Divisional Crime Branch, injuring her hand.
Alonge alleges the abuse followed her off duty, with Okeme allegedly stalking her to bus stops, hurling public insults, and telling bus conductors not to pick her up. She initially reported this to area commanders and was briefly moved but later returned to the Sabo Division. She states the harassment continued, including a December incident where Okeme berated her for not offering greetings, leading to a query.
Despite an internal recommendation for mediation from the Provost Unit, Alonge says nothing changed. She now pleads for direct intervention from the top, asserting Okeme has bragged about facing no consequences even if she causes serious harm. The petition includes medical documents from the alleged assaults.
