In a society where stories of law enforcement often revolve around enforcement and discipline, Inspector Justina Rita of the Traffic Unit, Sabo Divisional Police Headquarters, Lagos State, is making headlines for a different reason — her kindness, motherly care, and extraordinary dedication to schoolchildren.
Stationed daily at her duty post, Inspector Justina is not only focused on managing traffic flow but also on ensuring the safety of children crossing busy roads on their way to and from school.
Parents and commuters in the Sabo area describe her as a rare gem in the Nigeria Police Force, noting her unique way of combining discipline with compassion.
“She doesn’t just stop vehicles to let children cross; she takes time to check that they are properly dressed, neat, and safe,” a parent said.
Her routine has become a reassuring sight to many: carefully guiding children across the road, adjusting a misplaced school tie, straightening a rumpled uniform, or simply offering words of encouragement before they head to class.
This blend of professionalism and maternal instinct has earned Inspector Justina admiration from both the community and her colleagues. She is now fondly referred to as “the children’s mother in uniform.”
Community members believe her acts of kindness show how policing can extend beyond law enforcement into genuine service and care for society.
