Man pleads with policewomen to be kind after kids traumatized by past incident

A Nigerian man, Tega Anosike Nze, has pleaded with policewomen to be kind after an encounter between his wife and a female officer left a lasting impression on his young children.

“Dear police women, particularly those in traffic, I know you may not care, but when you see a mother with little kids, probably on a school run, please do your best to avoid them,” Nze wrote on Facebook.

He explained that the incident has created lasting mental memories for his children. “You create very bad mental memories for the kids.

“My kids won’t stop showing me the spot where their mom and a female police officer had an issue,” he said.

“They say police women are so wicked. I have been correcting them, but that memory won’t go away from them since December.

“They show me the spot every time we pass there and I feel very bad,” he added.

The father’s post, shared on Sunday, February 22, 2026, puts the spotlight on the challenges families face during school runs.
