Some #EndSARS protesters have begun to shower accolades on
Patricia Amadin, a divisional police officer (DPO) of Anthony police station in
Lagos state, for her “encouragement and support” during the campaign.
This is coming hours after a man, believed to be a mobile
police officer, joined the #EndSARS protest in Lagos while venting his anger at
the police unit.
Recall that Mohammed Adamu,
inspector-general of police (IGP), announced the disbandment of the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) on Sunday after the nationwide outrage.
But shortly after the Adamu’s pronouncement, photos and
video clips of the police officer calmly addressing #EndSARS protesters in the commercial city
started to gain momentum.
In one of the short videos, Amadin could be heard telling
the protesters that she would “escort” them alongside her team as they
continued their peaceful agitation for an end to police brutality.
In another footage, she could be seen assuring the #EndSARS
protesters that her team would not impinge on their freedom of expression as
enshrined in the constitution.
Several Nigerians have since taken to the micro-blogging
platform to hail the police officer’s “heroics” while others also recounted
their previous encounters with her.
“Hello Twitter family ! Please let’s give this woman 1k Rt
she is the DPO of Anthony police station, she is truly a mother . She gave the
protesters morale and security at today’s protest #EndSARS #Nigeria
#EndPoliceBrutality,” a Twitter user wrote.

One of the users, who lauded the police officer, recounted
how she came to his rescue when her colleagues arrested him for moving around
with a power bike after the state government had banned movement of
motorcycles.
“During the bike ban, trigger happy policemen held me at
Maryland and insisted that the ban covers power bikes. She was the one that let
me go. beautiful soul, we gisted for a bit. She’s doing her second masters as
we speak, Better woman!!!!,” the user wrote.

On the contrary, there are humane officers among them who know what is right. Yesterday, we read about the DPO of Anthony police station not only giving clearance but also went ahead to give police protection to the protesters.

A peaceful #EndSARS protest currently ongoing in Anthony village environs. The stopped at the police station, were addressed by the DPO, and continued the protest. The stuff of dreams to be honest. #EndSARS

There is always a good one in the midst of bads, and bads in the midst of good. The idea is where you have almost all good and very very very few bads. This is because by the laws of life, there will always be an outcast
