A Mother of three, Mrs Nafisat Omitade, was full of thanks over the weekend when she was rescued with her three children by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu at Ojodu area of the state.

The woman and her children, who were stranded, were rescued by CP Odumosu over the weekend around 12a.m at Berger Bus-Stop during patrol at night.

It was gathered 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 the woman, she boarded a bus from Osogbo to Ibadan then took another to Lagos.

She said all the way from Osogbo to Ibadan there were no policemen and other security agencies on the road and it was seamless driving.

“I am aware there is curfew in the country, but because of my husband is 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 got to Lagos, that I saw policemen that stop the vehicle that conveyed me from Ibadan, if there was police on the road from Ibadan wouldn’t get to Lagos.

“When we got to Berger bus stop every passenger in the bus where asked to come down, after awhile they allowed me and my children to go.”

She added: “It was when I and my children were wondering about that the Police boss who was passing by saw us where we were standing helplessly and came to our rescued.

“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 as changed totally with him and I will forever remain grateful to him and his men who worked with him to save our lives.
