A video of the incident was posted on the official Twitter handle of the Delta State Police Command, Bright Edafe.
It is not clear what led to the assault, where, and when the incident took place.
From the video, the woman could be seen in what appeared like her kitchen, holding the armed police officer by the neck of his uniform and rough-handling him.

She was also heard saying, “You lie, I go kill you here today.”
Still from the video, a substance like soup was also seen poured on the head and face of the officer, who was only seeking to effect an arrest of the woman. The woman, from the video, refused to be arrested.
The woman could also be heard shouting that the officer stole the phone of her child from where it was plugged.
The female voice behind the camera (the one recording) could be heard asking the woman to come outside.

Edafe accompanied the video with a short statement, “While the actions of the policemen were inappropriate and unprofessional, I want to crave the indulgence of people on this bird app to comment on the action of the said woman who poured hot soup on the policeman on uniform. This is not a defense, but I don’t think this is right.”
Edafe while responding to a question posed by a user on his comment wrote, “The woman is the suspect, she smashed and assaulted a man who reported the case at the station, but I don’t expect you to see reason since it’s about the police.”
