A Nigerian woman, identified as Kehinde Afolabi, is in the grips of the police for allegedly slapping a policeman 13 times.

Reports indicate the incident happened when the policeman, identified as ASP Adeyemi Ogunyemi, a Crime Officer at Eruwa Division in Oyo State, Nigeria, attempted to enforce a lockdown directive.

The single mother of six is reported to have bitten two others.

Rather than retaliate, ASP Ogunyemi patiently took the assault and was heard restraining his angry subordinates to avoid an escalation of the situation.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has commended ASP Ogunyemi for what he described as uncommon restraint and professionalism in the face of the unprovoked attack.
