Pastor dodging bullets and siding with #endsars and youths. Cheap.

Some use tax to enrich themselves. Others us tithe. That's the only difference I see.

Responsibility belongs to all institutions.

Good cops have nothing to fear !

Rabiu Garba is the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) at Fegge Onitsha. He built a borehole for the neighbourhood without any fund raising.

He organizes soccer tournaments for the youths of Fegge at their stadium where he also goes to play table tennis weekly.

For Rabiu Garba, Fegge is his home. Fegge is his community.

He has attended almost every church and every event in the area as he is invited because he is accepted as one of them.

When the rampaging youths came to burn his Police Division yesterday, he neither fought nor fled.

While his men were panicked, he walked out to meet the mob with the courage of a man who had nothing to fear.

They recognized him and the angry chants were silenced! Most of the youths could vouch for him as a professional cop and a role model for many young men in the community.

They even granted him audience to address and counsel them before the mob dispersed.

It had nothing to do with his tribe or religion he is just a model cop

Pele my dear

wonderful and Marvelous are the works of My Lord Jesus.

The Day I Faced Police brutality For Preaching The Gospel Of Christ on The Streets Of Abuja

This actually took place in the outskirts of the FCT, Karu-site to be precise. It was after I had just began preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God with my megaphone on the streets, sometime in 2003, as I had often done since the beginning of that year.

All of a sudden, I saw a man get up from a bench he was seating on close by, come close to me and ordered someone else, a guy to take me, but they were both on mufti.

While I was yet wondering what was going on, someone else, another guy, came and said he was going to follow me to wherever they were taking me, to see what they up to and probably to stand as a witness, because he didn't see anything wrong in what I was doing. In fact he was already attentive waiting to hear what I had to say before the interruption.

Although I was moved by the gesture, it appeared to offend the men as they now, I think, handcuffed the both of us with one handcuff, and dragged us to the Karu-site Police Station which was just close by which confirmed that they were actually policemen.

But when we arrived at the Station, instead of taking us to its reception so we could be properly interrogated, they took us somewhere hidden, at the back the back of the Station, probably a room where they torture some of those they arrest, to show that the arrest was ulterior motivated and unwarranted.

Then once we had entered into the room, and the man who brought us there had leveled some accusations, which I can't remember, against me before the policemen inside the room, and the supposed offense of the other guy which was his decision to follow me, they began to brutalize us.

It wasn't that seriously though, but we had received a few slaps and blows to our body and our heads were hit together.

I can remember after one of them slapped me, i turned the other cheek for him, but he rejected the offer and still slapped me on the same cheek.

One of the policemen, probably their boss there appeared not to find any fault in what we had done that warranted our arrest, so was casually telling them to release us.

After they had stopped hitting us, one of them, the same who rejected my offer of the other cheek, compared us to Paul and Silas. He jokingly said something about both of us praying like Paul and Silas, and imagining what it would be like if the same thing which happened to the prison they were happened to the Police Station.

Not long after that they released us, so our brief stay there seemed to end on a lighter note since it was clear that we hadn't committed any offence that warranted our arrest. However by then, the guy who arrested us had already left, but before he left he had given me a stern warning me not to see me doing what I did again, which was to preach the Gospel of Christ on the streets of Abuja, otherwise I would see what he'd do to me.

To be honest, I was quite shaken a bit by his threat since it was the first time I got arrested and persecuted for such, but that wasn't enough to deter me as I continued preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom on the same streets probably that same day, and continued doing that for a while.

Although it was an experience which I took in my stride as part of what comes with the life i'd begun to live for the sake of the Gospel of Christ, because Jesus had already warned us that we would face such brutality for His Gospel and namesake, that doesn't justify what the policemen had done or absolve them of their wrongdoing.

And this took place as far back as 2003 during the tenure of Obasanjo to show that police brutality didn't begin today or with this government as some think, but has been here for a long time. It's only gotten worse over time.

Hence the #endpolicebrutality protest is a very welcome development, and perhaps long overdue, because the essence of the Police Force is not brutality but the security of lives and properties.

God bless Nigeria.

"Then once we had entered into the room, and the man who brought us there had leveled some accusations, which I can't remember, against me before the policemen inside the room, and the supposed offense of the other guy which was his decision to follow me, they began to brutalize us."


U could remember everything but not the accusations they leveled against u. And u had to spice it up with religion we'll make I allow the fools comment.

helinues:


So they arrested you cos you were preaching?

Are you the first Christian preacher in Northern Nigeria?

Idiot.
A woman was stoned to death recently in that same Abuja for the same thing.

Uyi168:

Hypocritical comment
You shutup, don't u know many Muslim scholars too that were killed in Southern Kaduna(a Christian dominated place) and some other Christian dominated communities in the North.

As I said earlier to someone else, you don't have to believe it for it to be true.

By the way, this happened way back in 2003.

If it were you, I'm sure you'd remember everything.

Does not hid the fact that muslims and northeners where attacked in the south east asari dokubo has already testified about it. Are u saying northern most build community boreholes and attend church before they will not be attacked?

Make we begin talk about police brutality even on Sunday, mod must be a Muslima

It's really not about police brutality here, I only see you being persecuted for your faith! The police was just a tool to shaken and persecute you.

The day you become a Christian is the day you become an endangered specie and an enemy to the world ..

God help us

They are probably moslems, preaching the gospel irritates some moslem extremists to no end.

Thank you for standing for Christ. Jesus Christ foretold us that such things are bound to happen before He comes. The gospel of God will reach every conner and crannies of this country, whether the enemy likes it or not.

Public officers’s kids deserve scholarships, after all police are the only public officers I know with poor working environment, salary and hatred from the public they serve.......

With all the race related brutality in America, the rage didn’t get to this....

Human beings are designed by nature to remember every bad experience they encounter to prevent future reoccurrence bro. We forget good experience easily than bad and from ur story u detailed everything all the way to what the person accompanying u said yet u forgot the accusations. And u use religion to hid the obvious flaws in ur story so that u may gain sentimental like and comments. Well hope it makes ur day that they bought ur false story. �

Especially in Northern Nigeria.
I know the kind of hateful looks I get once I get close to them and they see the rosary beads in my rear view mirror.
I stare back at them in a more hateful manner too.

In as much as there is freedom of expression and worship, what I don't condone is waking people very early in the morning all in the name of morning cry.

If every religion should adopt the Christian's way of propagating their religion, I doubt if Christians will be happy with the development.

Imagine been waked up as early as 4 am with words like: "repent and follow Allah, or you'll go to hell".

The noise and public nuisance are appalling, and I hope you guys learn. You have your religion, I have mine. Let's respect each other's beliefs without wanting to convert the other.

There is no RIGHT religion out there, it's all about FAITH and TOLERANCE!

'Religion is indeed the opium of the masses'

Thank you!

But sound systems from mosques can wake us up�

Sentiments aside, preaching on the streets may not seem wrong to you, but it is a crime against the state. In a saner climate, your arrest would have been justified.

Coming from someone that his moque keep waking everyone with Allahu akba and Muhammad is his prophet every day around 5:30.

Why are you guys in pain? I never see you complain about the so called call for prayer but you are in pain when Christian are exercising their religious right. Hope all is well.

Burruchaga71:

But in that same Abuja,as early as 4:30 am to 5:30am,the whole town starts vibrating with shouts of allaaaah akbomb on very noisy loudspeakers.
Good thing is,the country will soon divide so you can turn yourselves to another Afghanistan/Pakistan/Iraq/Libya/Somalia

Christians are trying in Nigeria. The persecution of Christians and their teachings is very great. The government and unbelievers both home and abroad are actively involved in this persecution. We Christians will persevere and will win the battle because a crown of Glory awaits us in heaven

Your case is different. You committed CRIME OF PUBLIC NUISANCE. Noise pollution coming from religious activities of Christians and Muslims are realities in Nigeria. Therefore, the police did their job by dealing with you to stop further public nuisance.
