The Women Empowerment and Legal Aid has written a letter to the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, asking him to reverse the dismissal of an unmarried corporal in Ekiti State, Omotola Olajide, for getting pregnant or face a lawsuit.
This was contained in a letter titled, ‘Request to Recall Dismissed Pregnant Police Officer’ which was signed by the Chairman of WELA, Mrs. Funmi Falana, on Thursday.
“Take notice that if our request is not granted, we shall challenge the dismissal of Mrs. Omotola at the National Industrial Court and pray for the annulment of Regulation 127 made pursuant to the Police Act, 2020,” the letter read.
