Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu
Ekiti State Attorney General and Justice Commissioner Olawale Fapohunda has filed a suit against Inspector General of Police (GP) Muhammed Adamu at the Federal High Court in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, over the sack of a pregnant unmarried female corporal, Olajide Omolola.
The policewoman attached to the Iye-Ekiti Police Station in Ilejemeje, joined the service in May 2020 and was dismissed by the police for getting pregnant less than a year after graduating from the Police Academy.
Fapohunda is seeking a court order to declare as unconstitutional Section 127 of the Police Act and Regulations, which provides for the discharge from the Police Force, policewomen who become pregnant while unmarried.
