Despite receiving a Junior Chambers International award for her
\n“monumental leadership” the spokesperson of the Lagos police, Ngozi
\nBraide, has been issued a query for fighting and attempting to stab a
\nsenior police officer, SaharaReporters has learned.<\/p>\n

It was gathered from a reliable source at police headquarters in Ikeja
\nthat Miss Braide is undergoing interrogation for allegedly fighting with
\n a Chief Superintendent of Police identified as Cynthia Ibeama.<\/p>\n

“It is obvious that JCI who presented the award to Miss Braide last
\nweek did not know that she has a query to answer,\u201d a police source said.
\n The fight allegedly took place at the Lagos State Police Command on
\nJanuary 18 during the surprise visit of President Jonathan to the Police
\n College, when there was disagreement between both officers who wanted
\nto park in the same parking spot at the same time.<\/p>\n

Police sources said a quarrel broke out and snowballed into a fierce
\nfight. Policemen intervened and stopped the fight but Ms. Braide then
\nwent to her car and emerged with a knife with which she threatened to
\nkill Ms. Ibeama<\/p>\n

A police source who witnessed the incident said, “It was a big shame
\nfor a PPRO to fight. In this case she shows that she has no respect and
\n she is not disciplined because she is a Deputy Superintendent of Police
\n and the officer she fought with is her senior, a Chief Superintendent
\nof Police. Ms Braide may be the PPRO but there is discipline and
\nseniority in the Force and she should have respected the CSP; they
\nfought to the extent that they tore their uniforms. Her breast was
\nexposed and the policemen who had gathered had to cover her up. It was a
\n show of shame and she even went to get a knife from her car to stab the
\n CSP”.<\/p>\n

Police sources said Mr. Manko, the Lagos State commissioner of police
\n is not happy over the incident but his hands are tied as the
\nInspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, appointed Miss Braide to
\n her position and may be let off the hook over the fighting incident
\nbecause of her alleged closeness to him.
\n The source pointed out that the fight with a senior officer is not the first time Braide has been involved in a controversy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer boyfriend was arrested for fraud last year and the victims
\nalleged that she used her office to aid her fraudulent boyfriend. That
\ncase is still under investigation and she is allowed to parade herself
\nas the image maker. She feels she is untouchable because of her
\ncloseness to the IGP and we don’t see anything coming out of her public
\nfight,” the police source said.<\/p>\n

Ms. Braide has denied the fight story. This week, however, as
\nreported by SaharaReporters yesterday, she was also involved in a
\nscuffle in her office with a female PM News reporter<\/p>\n
