All I could remember was a verse in a song, sang by Fela Anikulakpokuti " them bring sorrows, tears and blood, them regular trademark... "

This sad incident happened today afternoon at Ikono LGA in Akwa Ibom State, crazy enough it happened just beside the Ikono General hospital.

So, a group of Police men had stormed the area as usual, like some special forces squard & MIB agents... Like action film.. They mounted a road block with bamboos and tyres and carried on on their craze of extorting passengers who didn't wear face masks- they have really been obviously cashing out during this Corona "business festival"....

One could see some passengers( who obviously had forgot their face masks or something like that) divert or return, on sighting the policemen from afar off.

Having past them and I went into the hospital, all I heard were loud shouts, I believed it must be an argument between the police and a passerby or so, for that's the case mostly when some passengers will insist on not bribing their way out or not agreeing to pay the full amount...

Next thing I heard was screeching tires and a boom, then shouts... an accident had occurred and amazingly, the policemen ran into their vehicle others on bike and zoomed off...

Finally they had attained their core purpose, -The death of another well meaning Nigerian Youth. There it was, a dead body lying on one side of the road with blood all over and another person rolling on the floor and shouting...

The police didn't even think of carrying the dead, (peradventure his life could be saved) into the hospital which was just by the road, they just wasted a life and ran away...

My problem with this is that it is getting too rampant in Nigeria.

Why do the Nigerian Police Force keep causing deaths of the citizens? It makes a point that they cause more harm, than good- generally speaking.

Why can't the Senate address this issue once and for all? A reasonable bill being passed, can make a difference...

If its not SARS that will brutalize someone for something completely obnoxious it will be one senseless excuse on accidental discharge...

The NPF sure needs to be put in the right perspective as to what they exist for and the correct rules of engagement.

R. I. P to the dead...
