More drama as Lagos police begin trial of detained female cop seeking to resign

The Lagos State Police Command has begun the trial of a policewoman, Fauzziyah Isiak, who was reportedly detained after tendering her resignation letter.

Isiak had cried out for help on Thursday as she accused the command of detaining her without any formal interrogation.

But the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said Isiak absconded from service and her orderly room trial had commenced and might be concluded on Friday (today).

“The trial has not been concluded. The trial will likely be concluded tomorrow (Friday),” the PPRO told PUNCH Metro.

Isiak took to her Twitter handle on Thursday, @fauzziyahshoney, to share her ordeal.

“I never saw this coming. I have never thought I will be put in detention without interrogation. All I did was try to resign. I have been trying to resign from the police since last year but my letters were not approved.

“My boss had called me to show up yesterday, May 24, to meet the deputy commissioner for an interview. I thought they were finally going to approve my resignation but the only words I heard was that I should be detained to be tried and dismissed. Due to the shock, I couldn’t say anything as the officer led me away,” she tweeted.Punch
