How Nigerian police handles small thief vs big thief

Yesterday the officers of the Nigerian Police force celebrated the arrest of a notorious kidnap kingpin, a multi billion naira man with luxurious lifestyle. Reports have it that he wears a wrist watch worth $170,000.

While it was a feat worth celebrating and talked about, there are certain observations from the parade and it looks weired.

1. The Evans kidnapper appeared so confident in photos as opposed to a remorseful and terrified criminal we see in the past
2. The officers did not rough handle him like of men on black normally do
3. He appeared like one of our politicians like Dasuki, Metu, and FFK on their way to court
4. The officers parading him appeared like escorts
5. All gang members well seated vs other cases where they seat on the ground

We just hope we'll see the end of this matter and not swept under the rug as soon as Nigerians forget

RIPEnglish:
That is one of the reasons these country can not got better. Nigerian police need to did better in the way they handles criminal.

That's the society we live in, how pathetic!

In Nigeria, we worship riches, not minding the means you used to got it. And that's why even security agents have some sought of respect for bigger thieves.

We still have a long way to go, because there are a lot of difference between us and the developed countries; In Dubai after it rains, water disappears in 5 mins. In Lagos after it rains, the road disappears in 5 mins!

They can jeopardize the case by malhandling him. Lawyers can use defences like 'due process was not followed in the process of arresting him' to dismiss the case. If you notice, he was not beaten as well. If he was beaten, his lawyers can also claim injuries and counter sue the police force which will prolong the case. Dont forget he has the resources to hire the best SANs money can get. In more civilized countries, a mere failure to read Miranda rights can jeopardize a case completely even if they caught the suspect in the act. Even his confession was done in front of the media so that no lawyer can claim the confession was forced or made under duress. The police men handling this case are obviously more experienced and of a higher rank than those 20 and 50 naira police men you find on the road.

The difference with the small thief is that those who arrest him dont really care about justice.. They just want to collect bail money. Also there is no public scrutiny or even the commissioner's scrutiny on these small cases. Sometimes, the DPO is not even aware of the arrest because it is a side hustle for the seargents and constables.

You see why i want to marry you

TinaAnita:
What that means is that if you want to be a thief be a big thief as they have zero tolerance for petty thieves

coalcoal1:
the bottom line is that they're both criminals... I don't see how this one will escape justice with all the evidence against him
