Photos: Woman allegedly brutalized by police in Port Harcourt for having tattoos

According to an Abuja-based Lawyer Emeka Ugwuonye, who is handling the case, Jackie Awah, pictured with her husband, Lawrence, was allegedly brutalized by the police for having tattoos
"I met with Jackie and Lawrence Awah. Jackie was brutalized by the police. Her crime was that she had a tattoo. DPA is investigating this case. Meeting the Awahs today is a critical part of that investigation. Jackie and Lawrence are exceptional couple, soulmates, two love birds, blessed with two adorable kids, 13 and 10 years olds. I learnt that the young kids have an anthem for DPA which they plan to present to me.
It is a tragedy that such a beautiful family would be traumatized in this incident. But DPA will stand with them all the way"

Can you imagine... Since when has tattoos become a crime in Nigeria? NPF has definitely lost its priority!

They should be arrested, taken to court and made to explain to the judge how they went to law sch, tried the lady for having tattoo and decided that her punishment was to be brutalized.

Hmmm Nigerian police is the worst thing that can happen. After my encounter with them,just to make a statement and I was detained.

Is not acceptable for NPF to brutalize an innocent citizen just because she has tatoo her body...I guess there is something they are not telling us...
