The Police in Lagos have rescued a mother of three, Nafisat Omitade, at Ojodu-Berger area of the State.
The woman and her children, who were stranded, were rescued by the State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, over the weekend around 12am at Berger Bus Stop during patrol at night.
It was learnt the woman left Osogbo in Osun State with the children with the purpose of uniting with her husband who resides at Owode-Idiroko, Ogun State.
According to Omitade, she boarded a bus from Osogbo to Ibadan then took another to Lagos.
She said all the way from from Osogbo to Ibadan, there were no policemen and other security agencies on the road and was suck seamless driving.
Omitade said: “I am aware there is curfew in the country, but because of my husband wants me to bring his children, that was why I decided to take the risk to bring them down, but I never knew I would get to Lagos late.
“It was when we go to Lagos that I saw policemen that stopped the vehicle that conveyed me from Ibadan.
“If there was police on the road from Ibadan, I wouldn’t get to Lagos.
“When we got to Berger Bus Stop, every passenger in the bus was asked to come down.
“After a while, they allowed me and my children to go.
“It was when I and my children were wandering about that the Police boss, who was passing by, saw us where we were standing helplessly and came to our rescue.
“I want to thank him because if not for him, I don’t know what would have happened to me and my children.
“He took good care of us before taking my children and I to my grandmother’s house at Ojodu before proceeding on our journey the following day to Idi-Iroko, Ogun State.
“The impression I had about Nigeria Police before now has changed totally with what the Police boss did for my children and I.
“I will forever remain grateful to him and his men who work with him for saving our lives.”
Abibat Famuyiwa, the grandmother, also thanked Odomosu for bringing her daughter and grand children home safely.
