A Twitter handle suspected to be for the Enugu Police Command has said citizens don't expect to be served chicken and chips while in prison or cell.

An alleged tweet by the Enugu State police command has stirred a serious conversation about the living state of prisoners or law offenders in the command's custody.
A Twitter user had inquired what the state command is doing about the cells claiming prisoners or law offenders barely get a breath of fresh air before getting bail or charged to court.

Kelsonwa, the Twitter user had written, "@policeng_enugu what are you doing about you cells, were by a person been detained can't even breathe fresh air before he or she gets bail."

The response by the supposed Twitter handle of the police state command was "Sir, you don't go to cell expecting to be served chicken and chips."



 

The handle further went to address the state's citizens saying "To address our previous, Dear Nigerians, it was not in our plans violate anybody's right, as the Nigerian police strive to secure live and properties while administering transparency in justice.

"At that we don't wish for anybody to enter any of pour cells, as our cells are for those who break the law."

In a follow up, ex-Director-General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms Dr. Joe Abah replied the state police command saying the response was shameful.

"This is a shameful tweet, which I have reported to your bosses. "Abah had tweeted.

Very shameful tweet indeed. Nigeria Police routinely pick up innocent people from the roads and while they drink in front of their own houses, lock them up for days and extort huge sums of money from them.

The difference between Nigerian police and kidnappers is getting thinner daily.

But at least jellof and beef......, or yampo and goat meat mixed!

The state police command didn't complete it's statement/response.
It's suppose to be "Sir, you don't go to cell expecting to be served chicken and chips, except you're a billionaire kidnapper like Evans or a rich polithiefcian".

hopefully whoever's in charge of the Twitter account make amends and implements this corrections, then he'll be given a round of applause.

But the police is our friend, we are made to believe. Why shouldn't one expect chicken at a friend's place?

nzuzu

The prison likewise the cell is not meant to be hell on earth
It's ought to be a comfortable place for sober reflection..

It's quite tragic that those who end up there comes out worse... I wouldn't blame the officer
behind the handle ..he knows nothing like his colleagues

What a dumb police officer

Nigeria is hell on earth
