To those saying it's the couples fault for talking bsck to the police officer: since when did talking back or being rude become crime? Even if it is a crime, isn't there a procedure to follow? Why were they not arrested?

Enough with this "it's a naija thing". Must we continue to live in fear of the people that have taken an oath to protect us. Have we suffered too long to even demand some respect and justice? Smh.

I honestly wish they could get a good lawyer to defend them so the officer gets thrown into prison.

God bless u so much. Some Nigerians are so daft. How will the country grow when they are not ready to take the bull by the horn. Stupid Nigerians

This is bad.

what are you saying ? Nigeria is a lawless country and you know this fact . They were even lucky , what if the police man had shot them? The thing we're saying here is that they're uncivilized and the fact that they have a gun will channel any slight provocation towards the trigger and you know what next . You might not even be alive to tell your story .
You don't have any right in Nigeria.

icebeatz:


Woooooow.... your view is immensely appalling.
You remind me of a slave that didnt know he was a slave.
Police men are not meant to be feared..... even if she insulted the police men, all he should is caution her or arrest her. There is no need being violent.

Why would you beat an unarmed civilian who poses no threat because he/she refuses to massage your ego!!

Woooooow...

No one is askin u to fear or not to fear policemen, just be careful how u talk to dem, de av rights also n de av wives n children. U av ur mouth de av dia gun, if u tro caution to d wind, de too will tro caution to d wind.

N for ur info, de ar not slaves, de ar citizens, don't insult dem.

sunnshyn:
We know how these policemen 'shine' their touch directly on people's faces and eyes. Imagine the pain. Ehn?

There's so much anger within the police community, if not I see no reason why an officer of the law will be dragging innocent citizens and be punching them in the eye while his colleagues look on..even the DPO had the guts to say they(couples) deserved what they got. Imagine! Adding insult to injury..our society is such a pathetic one really.

How long do we keep quiet while this unnecessary evil continue? How long?

We've kept quiet for too long...our country shouldn't continue to be a place where 'anything goes' anymore...

Kai! See their faces! For what now?

what do you want us to do? We don't even have guns ? If we speak up they will shoot us down and we'll be history

They are not the slaves; you are the slave and they are the slave masters.
Na your type go dey cry if they mistakenly get arrested.
You are a coward and disgrace to real men.

Is it the lady alone that was beaten? Smh. The reason he beat her is because he believes in equality, where there is neither male nor female, man nor woman.

eleko1:
Wetin consign Ngozi Braide for dis mata?Is she the commissioner of Police? The useless corrupt DPO and the drunkard police that inflicted dis on the couple should be dismissed but Nig being a lawlessness country where everything/anything goes,they'll sweep the matter under carpet

I mean seeing this as to arrest the police officer the way she has been arresting lawless officers.

og2711:


Its cowards like you that made the policeman in this story to have the balls that he has. If you report him just like the couple have done, he would probably be jobless by now.


"Wars are not fought only by childless men"

You are the real coward here , didn't they report to the divisional police and were told by the DPO that they deserved what they got ?

Some people dont know when to shut up! Improperly trained, frustrated police with rifle is flashing torch at you and you open your mouth to complain.

You are a sexist, was it only the woman that was beaten? Later you will say what a man can do a woman can do it better. Absolute rubbish.

ogmask:


i disagree with u. Some of this things must stop somewhere somehow. So many cases like this happen daily amd nobody talks about them. We should advocate citizen right and not put our tails between our legs as if we are cowards. No pain no gain. If pple like martin luther king jr ddnt die obama would best be an adviser to one white senator. You do not do the same thing all the time and expect a dffnt result. If things must change we must commend and file behind couragous pple like this couple.

I really don't understand ur stand of debate, howeva read were I said d nigerian police ar not very civilise, not been cautious makes u not civilise.

This is so wrong and I hope the DPO and all the officers involved will get punished severely for this ..........very stiff punishment. how do you beat up a woman like that and beat up the guy in front of each other.The Dada guy is an animal and I know the police authorities will come out denying.

However the reality of Nigeria Police foot soldiers of today is ;

1. They are under paid and under motivated
2. Work under the harshest conditions
3. Are used and abused by their superior officers
4. Lack knowledge , instruction, guidance, morals and discipline
5. Morbidly frustrated, depressed and depend on drugs , cults and alcohol to get through their lives
6. .......carry assault weapons

I would not talk back or argue with such a person. The lesson for me is to respect yourself and don't get on the wrong side of those men at checking points. Its cheaper , more convenient and better to PLAY nice and report afterwards. You don't argue with a man behind a gun at 10 pm! There are no rights in the grave.

Men should learn to keep their wives under control to avoid complexities in their lives. During my last trip to UK a police officer stopped my cabbie for speeding and he shone the torch into our eyes........its not out of place to do so. They check the eyes for evidence of guilt and fear as part of their work.

Finally Policemen are not from outer space, they are our families and blood....... they reflect our values and ways as a people we cannot play ostrich by demanding them to act like American police.

Just my opinion not a point for arguement

That policeman should serve as xmas goat to others who r useless n hungry like him

Henrypraise:
In as much as d policeman acted babaric, u will discover from d story dat d woman was d cause of d problem, if a policeman is beaming his light @ u, he has his reasons, I knw she must av talked rudely to him now de ar blamin d police.

Since we knw our policemen ar not very civilise, we ought to learn how to manage dem, by talkin rudely to dem, u too ar not civilise.

What are u saying?..so because she sounded rude she shud be beaten and dragged on the floor?. Are u a police officer or any of ur family a policeman?..I hate to say this and am sorry to pass judgement on u without knowing u but I think u will like violence..beating up husband wife because they were rude, u think if not for the Gun we bought for them to use to protect the community he won't be beaten to stupor. Let's call a spade a spade nigeria police are not our friend!

Ngozi Braide is no longer Lagos State Police PRO.Even if she's,they'll twist and and turned it to frustrate Persin.Trust Niagra Police @ Ur own risk

Bros I no in insult u o, y dis insult? Say u de run ur mouth, no mean say u no be coward. I 4 giv u a betta dose of ur drug, u lucky m goin home from work today n m very happy

Imagine say I be d police n u be d couple, tell me y I no go fire u n ur wife 4 dis ur talk? Common discussion u no fit discuss n u de talk of coward. Mumu

This is the height of tyranny and should be resisted by any sane being. So because the woman complained about the rays of the torchlight in her eyes,this animal in human skin has the right to brutalise and inflict such a level of violence on herself and her husband? What have we as a people become?
As for the DPO, she is an embarrassment to the uniform she wears and a perfect example of how women are their own worst enemies. This couple need a good and sound lawyer that can battle and get justice for them.
The man dies,that keeps silent in the presence of tyranny.

No matter how provocative the woman words must have been that doesn't quantify the beating.

So in the Environment where you live,you didn't know beaten a woman is prohibited abi? Bush boy,i only metion woman because it's a man that beat him.If it were a policewoman that beat her, that is different.

Even ur own dog dat u bought n fed will bite u if u mistreat it, talkless of hu u buy gun for.

U ar free to ur opinion about me. I don't av any police friend/ relative n if u view sum of my post, u will notice I av bin against bad practices in d police force especially on dia press release n statements.

If d police man were to be a soldier man, fear for make d woman open her mouth?

I know wisdom is profitable and all but these policemen bite more than they can chew so often, the light was on, why point that very harsh torchlight in their faces if not to abuse your office?

The woman may have not been rude when she said whatever she said sef, even making a face at these beasts in uniform is enough to set them off, they just like oppressing people. How long will people keep avoiding them even when they are clearly in the wrong?

my dear to be coutious is not to be stupid. Rights are dffnt frm previleges. Thats my point my brother. I think we swallow to many crazy things and thats why our police and military see themself as demigods.

dicefrost:




The woman had every right to tell the officer to redirect the light! Being rude or sarcastic is not a criminal offence

Yea n see were it has landed she n her husband.

Sumtyms retreating/ caution is a tactical term dat gives u oppurtunity to live and fight anoda day from an advantage point.

Dis tym d couples ar lucky, nect tym, de may not be dat lucky.

Thinkr:
"gender inequality" na only the woman dem beat to that 'extends'? Abeg talk everything jare

When 2 men are fighting, it's different from a man fighting a woman.

The police and the military have gone far beyond the bar.
The only thing that can put them back in shape is the north africa style response.
Soon and very soon tgings will change. A lot of pple have been wounded physically and emotionally by police action, including myself. I know that some day soon something will trigger a revolution and things will change.

The ordinary man has too much to contend with in this man made (politicians & military dictators) hell hole shaped country.
