Traditionally within NG govt circles, when an undesirable truth is laid bare, it is unbelievably denied even if is a blaring as a hot day's sun.

However, this here may not be denied -

The fact the Nigerian police seem to have been reduced to the state of political thugs.

What else can we say about situations were people have alleged the involvement of police officers (even senior ranking ones) to be involved in electoral rigging.

The incidenct that comes to mind easily is the allegation by the current Rivers State governor, that a certain Mr Akin Fakorede was involve in several illegal acts. He was later vindicated during re-run elections in the state when chance would have it that a video clearly revealing Mr Akin Fakorede thugging and terrorising INEC officials became public (and even aired on Channels TV).

What will we say of the incident where the police went to besiege the house of the senate president?

What will we say of the incident in Benue early yesterday, in which thugs were not needed to prevent elected lawmakers from getting into the chambers, but instead the police was used to teargas and prevent them from getting in, while they allowed the few (who they apparently were working for) to get in?

Truly, the Nigerian police has fallen to a very shameful state, and if no respect is accorded to their uniform by us in NGR or the rest of the world (the rest of the world probably disrespects them more), then they only have themselves to blame for the smear they seem to happily welcome unto a profession that ought to be one of the most dignified in our society.
