Policemen should be trained to know their duty as officers.....


They are so confused...Imagine a police officer pursuing weed sellers and now arresting a lady over indecent wears .....


If this was in a sane country, she'd sue him and the entire police force...But if she try am, she will be arrested and have guns plant d in her house and she will be referred to a gang leader that has been on the police radar for years now.....

Zoo Police

But wait o. I dont really understand this country again. Is it the job of a police and sars to arrest people for wrong dressing. Just imagine arrant nonsense. I dont blame them shaa.

Mehnn... this is crazy.

Not surprising, they're mostly out looking for innocent citizens to extort.. Shame on the npf..

We have a long way to go

These crop of criminals in Uniform will continue to perpetuate extortion with impunity unless drastic measure is put in place. I suggest that the Area commanders and DPOs should share in whatever punishment that is melted out to their boys too.

Imagine a police inspector (SARS) who earns less than N150k able to purchase a 4matic Benz?
