| Can You Report A Law-breaker To Policemen In Nigeria? by greatgod2012(f): 9:26am On Mar 19, 2013 |
My kids are writing examinations presently, and yesterday, when i was trying to revise their notes with them, i came across the citizenship education note of one of them, with the topic"duties of a good citizen" and the first duty talked about payment of taxes, the second duty was on reporting law breakers to the law enforcement agency, i asked the boy to give me exanples of law enforcement agencies, he mentioned......the policemen, the armed forces, i also asked him to give me examples of law breakers........he said......armed robbers, hired killers, touts who fights on the streets, disturbing/troublesome neighbours,e.t.c........ I also asked, if he can report such people, if need be, he confidently answered affirmatively, (can you imagine?, a primary one pupil being taught tll that), well, at this juncture/point, i couldnt but laugh, i thought, in this Nigeria, someone to walk up to the police station with the aim of reporting a law breaker....hhhmmmmm, that person will smell weeehn. I remember in our days in school then, all of us passed through the general course...."citizenship education", but since that yesterday, i have started thinking if we have actually been performing this duty of ours, considering the type of people that are made up of our law enforcement agencies, especially the police force in this country. I cant say of other countries o, but in this our Nigeria, do people actually report law breakers to the policemen? As for me, i have never, even when im the one that is cheated, im always the "i leave it for God to judge" type, because i always have this fear that, if i report, i will have myself blamed at the end of the day, so, i always refrain from going there.......policemen, i fear them die, abeg, dem no be my friends at all. So, lets share, have you reported a law breaker to the policemen in Nigeria, if yes, how did it go, if no, can you? If need be? Thanks and may God help us all. 3 Likes |

I wouldn't do such. The Nigerian police lacks the professionalism and training to handle such cases. Imaging reporting a notorious tout in the area to the police...he gets picked up, and after a few days or weeks he's released after parting with a bribe...do you think you'll be safe after he learns that you were the one that advocated his arrest? Its the job of the police to arrest perceived and known criminals. If they want the co-operation of the public in fishing out this hoodlums, then they must guarantee informants their safety. If that cannot be established, it would be wise learn to mind your own business and steer clear from people affairs... As for the issue of fights, robbries, trouble in the area...etc, I can easily pick up my phone and give them a call... 2 Likes |

Freiburger: OP, that should be the duty of every living citizen. yes, i know, but do we all perform the duty, especially in Nigeria, are the citizens encouraged by our policemen to perform the said duty? This is my concern. May God help us all. |

Nigeria does not have a police service; what we have is a police force. Our police lack proper training and discipline to engender public confidence. With a ragtag force like that it's better to stay your distance from them. |

No! definitely not in this nigeria. U may end up been the one in jail. Dats NPF for you.  |

i'm so shocked at most of the responses i'm seeing here, if the government and its police force cant protect its citizens, what's the need for having one? Security is what every responsible government owes its citizens for God's sake. |

Report fire!! I'll turn a blind eye instead..  Its not just about the police force.Its about our people too. For ordinarily reporting a classmate for cheating in secondary school,I became the despised one and almost frustrated in my class.The bigger picture is the society. |

Security is what every responsible government owes its citizens for God's sake.You obviously haven't been to Nigeria in a long time. We don't have one, we don't have a police force. Our policemen are armed robbers in black. Instead of them to protect us, the extort money from us and kill people like chickens. Are those the kind of people we should report to? abeg!! 1 Like |
