Why Do Nigerian Policemen Maltreat People? by richard870(m): 8:48pm On May 25, 2015
It hurts deeply that a country as big as Nigeria has no solid police force/ structure in place.
Instead of earning respect from the citizens, all they get is disdain and mockery from both young and old as a result of their shameful acts. They use the power given to them to safe-guard lives and properties to torment, oppress, cheat, insult, steal , extort etc ...the lives that are meant to be protected for their egotistical and callous gain
One thing that shocked me was the day some policemen stopped and requested for vehicle particulars and related documents. The driver of the politely gave it to them, only for them (without checking the content of the documents) to say 'you dey claim say u wise abi' 'oya your insurance' the driver without much ado handed it to them.
Angrily, one them policemen summoned the driver and asked him if knows what he's in for. The poor in fear had to start begging (without offence) that he's ready to co-operate and play by their rules. Someone in the vehicle, out of frustration came out and asked why they have refused to let the poor man continue his journey only to given tumultous slap in the face and severe beating that left every other person in the bus quiet, mute and dumb-founded.
The afforementioned is one out of many mal-treatments of the Nigerian police to its innocent citizens.
I would like to know why policemen in Nigeria maltreat her citizens, even when they obey pre-defined rules and regulations

NB: Your views could help re-shape them
Thanks

Change it to "Why Do NIGERIANS Maltreat People"

Only police

Is it police collecting bribes at airport to let people into their own country? Immigration
Is it police beating people up at airport? No Airforce
Is it police collecting bribes and maltreating people just to get a passport for their own country?
IS it police selling fake medicine at chemist, no IGBO people
Is it police selling fake and replica car parts, NO IGBO people
Is it police selling fake mineral water killing Nigerians?
Is it police working as armed robbers, kidnappers, body parts sellers, human head juju? NO IGBO people
Is it police defrauding the world on internet doing 419?
Is it police collecting 25% of Nigerian budgets? No National asembly
Is it police pushing drugs all over the world? No IGBO people

Police are just a small part of it, many Nigerians (especially IGBOS) are criminal by DNA!
