According to witnesses the following took place at the event’s car park; the celebrity radio personality arrived at the event, and was approached by a Mopol (mobile-police) officer in uniform (apparently one of the security guards hired by the event organizers) while trying to park her car. As she parked, the officer demanded for money in the usual ‘naija’ traditional tone to which Karen muted, Later. When she was ready to leave, she noticed another car had been directed to park in a way that blocked her from moving her car. She requested that the security officers help facilitate the moving of the other car as she was ready to leave the venue.
The Mopol officer still demanded money and Karen feeling irritated asked why he wanted to extort money from her when he would not even do his job. After trading some words of insults with the celebrity, the Mopol officer became fierce and slapped Karen Igho causing her to thunder to the ground and hitting her head against the car. Subsequently, the Mopol was said to have cocked his gun and threatened to shoot the celebrity causing witnesses to disperse and run for cover. The impact of the slap left her with a swollen face (as seen in the attached picture) and cracked jaw.In Karen words, ‘I go Smirnoff ice party, na hin Mopol slapped me and then said he would shoot me because I no give am money, I feel violated and abused’. While the Celebrity Radio OAP has since gone to the hospital for treatment, she is demanding justice through an inquiry into the matter by the event organizers, while also asking for a public apology from the brand managers of Smirnoff Ice because of the shameful incident.
