We cannot say we should hide in our homes to keep away from Police trouble. We just pray it doesn't happen to us as we go about our daily lives.

I watched this video with my Yoruba best friend. I'm Igbo by tribe. It took a man whose surname is similar sounding to his to condemn his right forelimb. It took an Igbo man to first let people know his situation and to direct him to where the world can hear his story.

Help can come from anywhere. I hope we are learning some important lessons.

Let love lead

Nigerian Police is not your friend.

Never put trust in any of them.

The black men on black...

The Govt should legalize use of gun. Police go take dressing by force.

What do they really inject in the system of our law enforcement agents in Nigeria? How people can turn deaf ears to the pains and cries of other people is still strange to me! I can't even watch thieves being beaten, not to talk of innocent people! It breaks my heart to watch or read about anyone going through this kind of traumatic experience. I hope he gets justice

No we are not learning anything as we can never learn in Nigeria. To us everything is tribalism. I am Yoruba, you ask me who I voted for in the last Election, I told you Tinubu and you accuse me of tribalism even when you (as Igbo) voted for Peter Obi, and you fail to see that more Yorubas voted for Obi than Igbos voted for Tinubu - why. I am not a tribalist and will never be. My choice is my choice and not out of tribalism. I supported Jonathan/Sambo and the Atiku/Obi ticket against the Buhari/Osinbajo because to me, they are the better candidates. To me, an Atiku will be a better option than Buhari, Peter Obi a better one than Atiku, Tinubu a better on to Peter Obi, Osinbajo a better one to Tinubu etc, if APC had not given their ticket to Tinubu or Osinbajo, I would likely vote for Peter Obi.
That's my choice and opinion not tribalism.

I was filled with bitterness when I watched the video...his case can't just slide like others

This is a video story shared by Brekete Family. It is about the ordeal of a Nigerian citizen in the hands of the Nigerian Police Force.

Solomon Bawa hails from Ajaga Family in Karo LGA of Nasarawa State.

In 2019, he was on his way to repair the tyre of his pickup when he was accosted by the Police who asked him if he knew any Bawa Gambo. He replied in the negative but they asked him to enter their vehicle to follow them to the station at Masaka.

On reaching there, they asked about his identity again and he told them his name, Solomon Bawa. After pressuring him to identify as Bawa Gambo and not getting a result, they took away his belt and shoes, then locked him up in a cell until daybreak.

He kept asking why he was locked up and got no response. Instead he got beaten and later transferred to State CID, Lafia. Here, he was beaten repeatedly and forced to identify as Bawa Gambo or tell them the whereabouts.

An Igbo trader who saw him, travelled to Solomon's home on his behalf, to inform his family of what is going on. His mother came to attest that his name is Solomon but was given no attention. Instead, he got beaten by one Inspector Usman Amgbashi to the extent that he got his forehead injured and lost his entire right arm to shrinking and paralysis.

Another Policeman, Inspector Ado Bature, advised him to accept the identity of Bawa Gambo or face more beating, especially as it was getting too much and may lead to his death and nothing will happen. Solomon had to accept, in the hopes that when he gets to court, he can explain himself. But this was not to be as he spent some months there. The only visitor he frequently had, his mother, died about 2 months after he had been held at the State CID.

After then, no one visited anymore and Solomon could not help crying everyday, at his loss. He was then transferred to Lafia Prison without being charged to court. He spent about 3 years in prison until he met with the Comptroller and explained his situation and ill-health. He was then transferred to Keffi Prison, where he spent another year but was getting some form of treatment on the now deformed hand.

Respite came in the form of a human rights lawyer, Barrister C.Y. Masha, who listened to his story when she came to the Prison. She took it upon herself to verify his identity by going to his hometown and retrieving his certificates, then pursued the matter until he was due to appear in court. It turns out that the said 'Bawa Gambo' had already appeared and bailed himself at the State CID while Solomon remained imprisoned.

After the first court session, the police never showed up again, despite Musa making multiple appearance with his lawyer, Barrister C.Y. Masha. He was then asked to provide two surety so he can be bailed, which he did. He went to retrieve his phone from State CID. He saw Inspector Usman Amgbashi, approached him and greeted him. He proceeded to tell him that he came for his phone but was warned never to step his foot there again or get beaten.

On October 4, after another no-show at the courts by the Police, he was advised by the same Igbo trader to go to Brekete Family to tell his story and possibly, get justice.

Today, the matter is being handled by the IGP himself, who called for a thorough investigation.

It's a bag of mixed fortunes ahead for Solomon, who now has to get justice with a deformed right hand, a permanent scar on his head, a late mother and four years of his life gone 'for nothing'

Lol! Nigerian police is your worst enemy and the world's most useless police force.There are so many of them moving with terrible curses on them, and that's why they often die a miserable and painful death.Their children often turn useless and vagabond.

AbuTwins:
Yes this is so disheartening but I'll still like to hear the outcome of the investigations!

All those corrupt officers involved in the NPF should be sentenced!

He should be given a damages of 50million naira or more!

As far as ordinary Ahmed Isa and brekete family is involved in his case, he will surelly get justice

I have sworn with my life, that anyone who offend me or my loved one, or out of greed, foolishness or otherwise, hurt me or my loved one would get swift justice.... No matter how long it takes. If you like live in a castle, I will still reach. You're only safe in the grave!

What you do to me, as long as I live, you will get it back, and be rest assured, when ever I'm dying, that request to make sure justice will be assigned to someone else.

I be like Israel, I no dey forgive or forget!

Even the said Gambo Bawa wey possibly commit the crime, don go bail himself, but the innocent person dey prison dey suffer? Even people understand that there are consequences for their actions whether police or not, expect these things to continue.

Just like a drug addict & Baron stealing an election because he knows there's no justice.

Sha no be my relative!

too much tale of woes from the Nigeria police force, can't they just accept a positive reformation ?
any troubling organization that constantly reject reformation and modernization, but prefer outdated archaic way of doing things, like one of those stubborn and troubling ancients religion, ought to be erased from the system.
we don't need a troubling police organization, constantly polluting our nation with unbearable injustices.

many are still facing the same fate in numerous police stations and prisons in these country.

many innocents have been killed and buried and nothing happened.

WHEN THEY TELL YOU THAT THEY WILL KILL YOU AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN, THEY MEANT IT. THEY HAVE DONE IT SO MANY TIMES AND NOTHING HAPPENED.

ITS NOT A ZOO, IN ZOO THERE IS LAW AND ORDER.

ITS A DEEP EVIL JUNGLE.

post news and go bros.
There's no need for all these ethnic name calling, "igbo trader, my yoruba friend, a surname similar to bla bla bla."
I have seen this news in several platforms and there was no form of ethnic coloration.

AbuTwins:


Why the destructive generalisation?

Ain't your parents too in the so-called disgraceful country?

the country is disgraceful no sugar coating.

Intergrated:
the country is disgraceful no sugar coating.

And your parents are disgraceful in the country too?

Nigeria sure has many ills which sure came from the haughtiness of the parents towards the kids.

I understand why you feel hurt seeing so many tribes united for peace. Same reason you have so many hidden posts in your catalogue. You are what you represent.

Desist from such living. It's unhealthy.

Sad

May God punish all the n p eff

Bigkoko:
Even the said Gambo Bawa wey possibly commit the crime, don go bail himself, but the innocent person dey prison dey suffer

I weak, my brother. If not for the intervention of the Barrister, he'd have still been imprisoned, believing it's a case of mistaken identity 💔

success1smyn:
No we are not learning anything as we can never learn in Nigeria. To us everything is tribalism.

I beg to disagree. Not everything is tribalism. Tribalism is allowing ethnic coloration to overrule common sense. This video clearly shows humanity transcends all of that petty tribal nonsense. But if you have laid your bed, then by all means, enjoy it 😎

AbuTwins:

So because your parents are in this country, that doesn't make it disgraceful ? Does this news not make you feel ashamed of your country ?
What's wrong with telling things as they are ?
You know what's more disgraceful ? Sharing this forum with low thinking imps like you !

You didn't get my point actually.
I know tribalism can't get us anywhere and I don't like People that are tribalist. I was only trying to show how far we are deep in tribalism, that's why I said we have not learnt anything from the video.

Set of people I hate most in my life: police and Nepa
