Cops beat lawyers for ‘disrespecting’ Assistant Commissioner of Police

Punch
Two legal practitioners have accused policemen from the Ogun State Police Command of assault, saying they were beaten for alleged disrespect to the Ijebu Ode Police Area Commander, ACP Funsho Ajao.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the victims – Adekoya Adebayo and Sola Ajisebutu – had gone to a bar at Molipa, in the Ijebu Ode area of Ogun State, to meet a client for a business discussion.
After the discussion, the owner of the bar reportedly took Adebayo to Ajao’s seat in the pub, seeking to start a relationship between the lawyer and the police boss.
However, after the introduction went awry, Adebayo stormed out of the bar and was about entering into his car when a policeman allegedly accosted him.
The policeman was alleged to have queried the lawyer for not prostrating for the commander and slapped him.
Adebayo’s friend, Ajisebutu, who had a physical disability and used crutches, was said to have been pushed to the ground when he attempted to mediate.
Adebayo, who claimed that his fiancée was also assaulted, told PUNCH Metrothat the chamber he worked with, Kayode Oshiyemi and Co, had not been in friendly terms with the office of the area commander.
He said prior to the incident, the chamber had written petitions against the area commander for allegedly fraternising with a rich man in the state to frustrate the course of justice in a case involving another client.
He said, “On Sunday, August 6, 2017, I was heading to my house in Molipa, with my friend and fiancée in my car, when a client called that I should stop over at a bar near the Goodluck Filling Station, Molipa

The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...
