The Nigeria Police Force, Sabo Divisional Headquarters has developed a nauseous knack for harassing citizens and peace-loving Nigerians. The Police headquarters has taken on slapping as a new mode of intimidation and harassment.
The first case of harassment occurred at the entrance of University of Lagos when a student was arrested by a supposed police officer with no uniform on. He was molested and brutally harassed after being alleged of collecting cash from a girl for admission.
While proving the officer's acts as being wrong, he was dragged to the Security Post of University of Lagos. From there, the Security men allowed him to be taken away without due hearing.
Upon getting to the police station, the friends of the arrested tried to establish the cause of arrest and confirm the next line of action but the police in their characteristic cunning and crafty manner avoided all questions relating to any positive resolution.
One of the friends of the arrested boldly made it known that their friend must not be kept for more than 24 hours at the station. This angered the policemen and the young man was beaten and slapped brutally.
Another incidence of slaps occurred when another student of University of Lagos with her friends were harassed at Sabo. She was walking with her friends including a Flying Officer of the Nigerian Airforce when a police officer broke traffic rule in disobedience of traffic control light.
The young lady nearly escaped being hit and she complained. The police officer came down and said nothing other than to slap her. The Flying Officer went to the scene to try and question the policemen but before they could say Jack Robinson, they have all been dragged and packed to the police station.
At the station, the policemen said they will spray all of them with no accountability for their souls and dead bodies. All the police officers on duty without any knowledge of what happened were humming this statement. Later, the Flying Officer was apologised to after knowing who he is. How about others molested, intimated and harassed?
Nigeria Police Force has complete colonial orientation. It is the headquarters of criminals. They are never willing to end human rights abuses.
