It's really unfortunate. This guy is a personal friend and a colleague.

His former boss owed him salaries and gave him a cheque which bounced. When he went to the office, the boss invited policemen to assault the young lawyer.

Unfortunately for them, they're now feeling the heat as the matter has escalated beyond their wildest dreams.

Oh no.
This is just too bad.
This is the height of it.
If this matter is taken up, THIS PARTICULAR video should end the issue of SARS TOTALLY.

He came to ask for his salary and they were slapping him so HARD and threatening to blow out his legs?
I have never heard of a cop slapping you for whatever reasons in a society that works.
This harassment is just too much.

Well, he is a lawyer, he should know the right thing to do and the right people he should take the matter to.
In saner climes, his boss (no matter the post he think he is) would be in Police custody at this moment. SHAME!!


#JusticeForKarimu ..........no time!

[s]Your friend made a dire mistake of going back to the firm and insisting on not leaving until payment. Once the ex-boss refused payment, he should have just walked away to make a case defrauded salary with the police. That was the civilized way to go about it without putting himself in a situation of physical assault / harassment. The bounced cheque was sufficient to win in court. A lawyer should know this. But he chose to do it the ‘gangster’ way of approaching the office, and trespassing the boss’s space after being told to leave and not complying (and possibly with harsh verbal exchanges). So he put himself in this unfortunate situation. He should have handled it better as a trained lawyer, not some uneducated villager. No matter what the outcome is, those hard slaps and other physical assaults can never be undone or reversed. He could have won easily if he went about it in a civilized manner. It’s not all battles you fight for yourself; some battles like this, all you need is to tender evidence, press charges and let the law fight for you. [/s]


And for those Nigerians clamoring for State Police, this is just the tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg that is a mountain of solid ice rising from the ocean’s bed. If the police ever gets under the control of the state governors / States, not only will there be disparity in their operational modus operandi across the country, but the police will also be used as the attack bulldog of the politicians and elite class to assault and subdue and oppress anyone they like, especially the middle-class and poor. So you middle-class people, continue shouting you want state police, it’s the same state police the elite will use to put you in chains.

Everybody just being lawless. As a lawyer why can't the employee follow due process? You 've the fake check, take it to the station and report him. Let the matter go to court ...even if he denies issuing it , that doesn't take away the fact that he is owing you and must pay.

Please give us updates. I don't mind contributing money for him to pull resources to fight this to a logical end. Until those two monkeys wearing black are dismissed and sent to a minimum of 6months in a prison I doubt justice has been done..


I feel so pissed ..

SARS Officers Assault Young Lawyer Allegedly Demanding For His Salary In Lagos led by some SARS operatives, allegedly on the orders of his boss who is also a lawyer.
According to reports, the incident happened in the law firm of one Oluyomi Olawore on Friday, 29th of June, 2018, in Lagos.
It was gathered that Karimu had tendered his resignation letter to Olawore in May, 2018, after working there for almost a year, but he begged him to work till June, so as put the new lawyer who would take over from him, through.
He obliged, but midway through June, Olawore allegedly told him to stop work, that his services were no longer needed. Karimu was said to have asked for his pay based on what he had done so far.
The boss gave him a post-dated cheque which would become payable at the end of June. On the due date, Karimu allegedly went to the bank but they refused to pay him because the cheque was not properly signed. .
He went back to Olawore but he refused to sign the cheque, claiming that he had no business with him anymore. Karimu insisted that the cheque was useless to him without the proper signature and refused to leave the office. .
The boss then asked some of his staff to go to Kam Salem Police Station at Obalende, to get police officers, on the ground that Karimu was holding him hostage in his office. The police officers came and the video was the resulting event.

From observation, the SARs guys are putting on face cap, to shield their faces for being recognized by the public, and moreover there is no name tag on their t-shirt for easy identification, this is unacceptable, and the young lawyer should petition the inspector general of police, Agf, etc and see to the end of this embarrassment.
