If you ask me, who gets the lady pregnant now, I'll say its one of the "oga at the top"....... Na them dey sample one another.

lexy2014:


What percentage of police men were caught and fired for bribery, extortion and corruption compared to those who weren't caught & fired? Are bribery, extortion and corruption not a norm rather than a crime in d force?

Karlovic:
But she was aware of the rules before breaking them, she should face the consequences.

IamWonderful:
For what, she knows the rules that it is after two years that she suppose to marry and be pregnant but she violated it, it is quite disgusting and irresponsible, the police service TB Joshua Prayer Request should lead by example to others, dubious and promiscuous character shouldn't be allowed in the organization, those calling for the application of the same laws to men are ignorant of the fact that men don't bring their partner's pregnancy to work and it affects work in no way

Karlovic:
I don't know about the percentages, and besides how many Nigerians are bold enough to report them most of them leave them to God or go online to wail and create memes with them. Policemen misbehaving get fired if the cases are taken up even though the system is not perfect so it's no ones fault, here is another case below.

Again, rules are bound to change. Times are different. That it worked then does not mean it makes sense today. One is not surprised why the country is a sh!thole when it cannot offer its most vulnerable a conducive environment



Men do earn more than women in the long run as a result of maternity leaves, so that aspect does not count in this case. There is no gender gap issue. Presently, a woman is being made unemployed because of an outdated law in the name of "it spoils the image of the Police".

The law is made for man not man for the law. It is bound to change.

Oga,try reason the matter nah,So a female officer needs approval before she can get married?

I take God beg you, no reply that guy again.
You don try enough

Hamiltonii:
You sound like pussy. Can a pregnant woman perform police duties in the streets? How does getting a woman pregnant by a male officer affect his police duties?

Karlovic:
I understand your point but those are the rules, even in most organisations when a new person is employed they have to work for so months and in some cases a year or two before he/she is confirmed. During this period there are certain privileges they are not entitled to as well. In her case she got pregnant out of wedlock which was not meant to happen.

Judolisco:
she is not married oga

HabaHaba:
Sincerely, I am getting too fed up of the kinda Stewpid news coming from the Nigerian government.

How could you sack a woman/lady simply because she got pregnant without legally getting married?!!!!

What part of the constitution abhors that?

For as long as it doesn't affect her duties Asa Police Officer, it's not your business who got her pregnant!

Like some folks mentioned in the previous thread, that many Nigerian police officers have impregnated and had kids outside marriage, some even while in the major marriage, and no head rolled or someone getting demoted or sacked.

What a country!!!

SIONKPO1:

must she be legally married,that's her personal life

SIONKPO1:

But laws should not be discriminatory
I'm a male oh

Once again, just one isolated case. Its no one's fault? How is it no one's fault?
The question u should be asking is how many reported cases of police excesses and negligence does d police bother to investigate and treat? The answer is not far fetched. Below is an ex excerpt from a human rights watch report:

[b]
"Countless ordinary Nigerians attempting to make precarious ends meet as taxi
drivers, market traders, and shopkeepers are accosted on a daily basis by armed
police officers who demand bribes and commit human rights abuses against them
as a means of extorting money. Those who fail to pay are frequently threatened with arrest and physical harm. Far too often these threats are carried out.

Meanwhile, victims of crime are obliged to pay the police from the moment they enter a police station to file a complaint until the
day their case is brought before a court. In the shadows, high-level police officials embezzle staggering sums of public funds meant to cover basic police operations. Senior police officers also enforce a perverse system of “returns” in which rank-and-file officers are compelled to pay up
the chain of command a share of the money they extort from the public. Those
charged with police oversight, discipline, and reform have for years failed to take effective action, thereby reinforcing impunity for police officers of all ranks who regularly perpetrate crimes against the citizens they are mandated to protect."

In your article not one real life scenario or instance was given, I expected you to present facts and not hearsay. Here is a another police officer fired for misbehaving

U called it an article and d same time called it "hearsay". How is an article hearsay? FYI, it's not an article. It is a comprehensive research work. So if u are looking for facts, a research work is nothing short of facts except u don't no what a research work is and what goes into producing one. There's nothing as empirical as a research work in today's world.

There's something called methodology in research. This is the methodology of d research work:

"Methodology
This report is largely based on field research in Nigeria in August and November 2008; April, May, July, and December 2009; and June and
July 2010. Human Rights Watch researchers conducted research in three states as case studies: Lagos, Anambra, and Kaduna, representing three of the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria; as well as in the capital, Abuja, and telephone interviews in Rivers State and Ebonyi State. While the levels of police corruption and abuse in some of these states are among Nigeria’s worst, interviews with police officers and civil society leaders who have worked in other states indicate that the patterns of corruption and types of abuses found in these states are representative for the whole of Nigeria.

Human Rights Watch conducted more than 145 interviews with victims and witnesses of police extortion and corruption-related abuse—including market traders, commercial bus drivers and passengers, okada (commercial motorcycle) drivers, sex workers, criminal suspects, and victims of common crimes—and with rank-and-file and senior police officers, federal government and anti-corruption officials, judges, prosecutors, lawyers, religious
and civil society leaders, journalists, diplomats, and members of an armed
vigilante group. The names and other identifying information of many interviewees have been withheld to protect them from possible reprisal from the police."
