the incessant extra-judicial killings of innocent Nigerians in this country is getting out of hands,... the police and Covid which one is more dangerous now ?
Nigeria Police and the incessant extra-judicial killings of innocent Nigerians in the name of lockdown and sit at home order of the Government, in abid to avoid the spread of convid19 in Nigeria.
Firstly ,the killing of an innocent boy at mkpo in anambra state which cost so much riot around the city thereby creating fear on possibility of spreading the virus within the city as a result of people th
Who came in Mass to protest against the killing of the innocent boy.
uptil now the anambra state government have said or done nothing about it.
Secondly there was another killing of a young youth in ohafia ,which resulted in the burning down of police vans, houses and order government properties by the angry youths in their numbers.
Thirdly, there was a harrasment of a nursing mother in osun state, who came out to buy some drugs for her nursing baby only to be flogged and been beating up by some police men on patrol.
And many many others reported and unreported ones.
And many many others reported and unreported ones.
All this issues should be look into and properly put a stop to it. because it is getting out of hand we don't know if we should fear the virus now or the police .
The directives given by the IG after the incident that happened in Lagos State last year,where in between January to April, 2019, Lagos State recorded four incidents of misuse of firearms which resulted in extra-judicial killings of young citizens of this country.
Which the IG instructed the entire police force on the use of fire arm and he said;
"In the long term, rather than the use of firearms, we shall use technologies and weapon systems such as electro-muscular disruption technology, commonly known as Taser or Stun guns by police".
In the same statement,last year ,the IG gave a strict warning "that any police personnel that insisted on remaining incorrigible by engaging in abuse of his or her powers or misuses his weapons in utter disregard to statutory provisions would be arrested , investigated through our internal disciplinary machinery and if found culpable,In addition, such personnel will be charged to court for murder or sundry offences depending on his or her level of criminal liability in the instance".
However, despite the warning of the IG of police the issue of killing of innocent people by some careless police men is in its increase.
Had it been that the warning/ instructions of the IG was implemented by the state commissioners of police on this issues of extra judicial killing,the act by now ought to have brought to an end.
Therefore, I Ulge the the Government to come out positive and promulgate a law on this regards through the national assembly. And on the side of the police IG and entire police constituted authority they should act fast in cumbing and stopping this ulgry act of killing inncent people instead of protecting and guiding them.
Information is strength
