the command.
In a press statement on Friday, Braide, a deputy superintendent of police, thanked the media and the people of Lagos for their support.
Braide said, "As the first female Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos State, I expressed fears when I assumed office on June 11, 2012, but to my greatest surprise, I experienced the warmest reception and assistance from you all.
"During the discharge of my duties here in Lagos State as the police spokesperson, l may have had disagreements with some of you; I hereby use this medium to say I am sorry.
"Considering the complexity of my office and varied opinions, there was no way I wouldn't have offended someone."
DailyPost recalls that in February, Braide received a query for fighting and alleged attempt to stab a
senior police officer, Chief Superintendent of Police, Cynthia Ibeama.
The scuffle took place at the Lagos State Police Command on January 18 during the surprise visit of President Jonathan to the Police College, when there was disagreement between both officers who wanted to park in the same parking spot at the same time.
The quarrel snowballed into a fierce fight and policemen had to intervene.
But Ms. Braide reportedly went to her car and emerged with a knife with which she threatened to kill Ms. Ibeama.
The incident made her undergo interrogation at the police headquarters in Ikeja, which resulted in the query.
Braide was close to the immediate past Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar.
He appointed her to the Lagos PRO position, which she held till her sack during the week.
