CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Public Relations Officer P.R.O of the Nigeria Police Force has stated that Nigerians have no right to confront policemen or stand up for themselves against Policemen
He revealed this through his Twitter account, the Force PRO advised that a legal complaints should be filed against such police 🚓 and actions will be taken after proper investigation. He urged Nigerians not to take law into their hands as he reacted to a video of a citizen drag a rifle with a policeman who assaulted him and also invaded his privacy.
Mr P.R.O also stated that such action by a civilian to a police officer is an act of disrespect to Nigeria.
According to Mr P.R.O, “Even if a policeman on uniform slaps a civilian, the civilian has no right to retaliate. More so, if he’s on uniform, it’s an act of disrespect to Nigeria to beat an officer on uniform.
“The disrespect is not to the policeman but to our nation and it’s a crime as enshrined in our criminal laws
“So, it’s not a case of what the policeman did that led to it, but the reaction of the civilians who actually assaulted the police.
“If police assault a civilian, you report and actions will be taken to rebuke him, not to take the law into your hands.”
“Let alone, it’s a matter of checking of phones, which can be easily reported and addressed. Now they are kept in our 5-star hotel in Lagos and will be in court on Monday.
“Are you going to visit them or send them food, or appear in court to defend them? Don’t support what is bad, ok”
I wonder if there is anything left to respect of a country with a shameless government that can't boast of securing the lives and properties of its Citizens and doesn't even value education.
It is indeed shameful.
Though I'm not in support in of assaulting a police officer.
But use your head. Fight for your life. Loss of life is irreparable.
