I will continue to say it, it's unbridled corruption and a breakdown of law and order (as exemplified by the inept Police) that will bring Nigeria to its knees. |

You pick up a bunch of idi'ots, dont train them properly on the law they are suppose to be enforcing, give them heavy arms, underpay them and set them loose on Nigerians, what did we think would be the outcome?! I remember one night when my dads car broke down a few k/m's from our house, and my dad came home and got myself and some other dude who was staying with us to come help push the car home. Half way home, a friend of his saw us pushing the car and decided to give us a tow home. just a few feet to our street, we ran into a checkpoint (this checkpoint has been there since forever and you would think they would have recognized us as residents in the neighbourhood). Thats how they stopped us at about 9:30 in the evening, and asked us for a tow-permit. Long story short, my mum who is a lawyer was pissed and trying to tell the officer that he was wrong and he just pulled up his rifle, aimed at her face (standing just a few meters from her) and had barely lifted the barrel just slightly above her head when two shots rang out. My dear!! That was my lesson in life never to f'ucks with the police, That check-point dis-banded immediately because after the shots rang out, the officer incharge ran up, took away the other officers fire arm and loaded him into their pick-up and they drove off. The fear of Nigerian police is the beginning of wisdom, just saying |

I have always thought of the day I will stand up to police extortion but with this I shelve the idea. |

That was a brave man killed by ruthless armed robbers called the nigerian police. |

Things like this only happen in a rogue state. Nigeria is a rogue state. |

I hate the police. When I'm a soldier, I'll deal ruthlessly with any of them who dares cross my path. Useless dickheads! |

Imanuelle: I feel you. Sad part is that since the Nigeria Police is centralized, as in one headquarters in Abuja controls the police department in the entire nation, it will be difficult for the headquarters to conduct investigations for all the corruption and unwarranted killing that are happening in all the thirty six states. The states are powerless as to how to curb this corruption. Only God will help us. |

I remember the trigger happy bloodshed that happened to police and army personnel in lagos a few months back. I think Nigerian Police never learns. Whatever a man sows that he will surely reap. May the dead guy's soul RIP. |

There are several un-documented cases of police brutality and violence on citizens. extra-judicial killings that become public knowledge eventually hit the court and a Police Tribunal is setup to handle a Civil Crime - only in Nigeria. just as a Crime punishable and provided for by the Constitution of Nigeria is handled by a Sharia court. Justice is truly blind |

Much as we all hate d nigerian police,but d story sounds too simplistic to me;d boy reprimands dem& dey chase him,kil him& colect his bible;d police may stil av bn @fault but I think d story doesn't add up& dat it has bn twisted to serve unknown purposes. I maybe wrong but dis is my gut feeling |

The Nigeria police is the most Hated institution in Nigeria. True or False? I say True |

My appeal to any sane human in Naija,never never confront an armed man.(Police in particular) Most of the times when I travel on the highway when I get to their check point I just smile at them and that does the magic for me. I delibrately have some 100naira bills on my shirt pocket and just give to any of them that trys to park me,even with your car papers complete they would still look for 5 that looks like S. |

redsun:Spot on. I wonder what the function of the police in Nigeria. To protect or to execute the innocent |
Re: Police Kill Youth For Criticising Checkpoint Extortion - Bayelsa by fred2265: 11:49am On Oct 21, 2011 |
This behaviour of police is a disgrace. I am presuming nothing will be done about it ever.

How are the policemen in Nigeria recruited? We must ask ourselves this question. In developed countries they taste their mental alertness and state. We don't recruit psycho as cops. Until we start with their mode of recruitment we'll still experience such incident by trigger happy cops |

@doctokwus, you sounded as if your dad was a policeman that murdered that kid. You sounded like an apologist. let's assume that the boy slapped one of the policemen or even stole their bible, was that a commensurate punishment in your opinion? Killing a 20 years old in broad daylight and in the presence of her mother. I only hope that the woman is able to shake off the truma with time. But your post really saddens my heart even more than the bullets that killed that kid. Remember, what goes around comes around! |
Re: Police Kill Youth For Criticising Checkpoint Extortion - Bayelsa by proudly9ja(m): 11:54am On Oct 21, 2011 |
Why are we just talking? Is there no way to take this up and get justice? Even if we eventually don't get justice, is there a way to make more noise about it? |
Re: Police Kill Youth For Criticising Checkpoint Extortion - Bayelsa by proudly9ja(m): 11:57am On Oct 21, 2011 |
Just read the Punch article and it seems the CLO have taken it up. But I think more noise should be made about it as it seems that's what gets the job done in Naija these days. However, the Civil Liberties Organisation has condemned the brutal killing, saying there was no justification in extra-judicial murder. The state Secretary, CLO, Mr. Morris Alagoa, asked the Inspector-General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, to call policemen attached to the state command to order, adding that the killing of Emmanuel was one death too many. |
