Oredo Magistrates’ Court in Benin on Thursday sentenced a 35-year-old woman, Mrs Oduwa Egbenayabuwa to two years imprisonment for allegedly assaulting police officers while performing their lawful duties.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs. RacheaI Ogbevoen who convicted the accused person, after finding her guilty of a two-count charge of related assault, however, gave her an option of N30,000 fine.
Earlier, the police prosecutor, Inspector Patrick Agbonifo said the offence was committed on October 31, 2015, with the accused person, Egbenayabuwa assaulting Inspector Isaikpere Alfred by giving him a slapping on his back while he was performing his lawful duty.
He said that the accused person also gripped F/No 502635 P/C Wose Azubike uniform and tore it while he was also on his lawful duty.
The prosecutor said the offence contravened Section 356(2) of the Criminal Code Cap. 48 Vol. 11 laws of the defunct Bendel State of Nigeria 1976 now applicable in Edo.
Earlier, the accused person appealed to the court for leniency, adding that it was her first appearance in court.

That woman must somhow be related to Tiwa Savage.
I‘m no supporter of voilence but the question is, why is it that the day Tiwa equally slapped a police officer on the way and nothing came out of that case till date? Or is it she‘s a celeb or what?
Another thing is why does it seem as if everybody in apportioning blames on the woman without first hear her own side of the story? The woman in question was not insane to have slapped the police man just like that so what transpired between them?
That you are wearing a NPF uniform does not give you the right to trample on people‘s Rights. I really believe that something led to the whole drama.
In Nigerian there is no justice!
The rich and famous always get away with whatever crimes they committed even if its a murder case, just like Ibinabo the other time.
I take a stroll…
if this woman is a very rich woman,i bet she will go Scot free
