inoki247: Hmmm what I don't understand about all this is when new People are been recruited to NPF every year they still act like the old ones no difference...
Which means if all the old ones are all sacked the new ones will still act like this and they're even more brutal...
So I think all this bodycam, CCTV be put in dere cars and office the institution just need some things to be put in place to deal with all this excess...
Lol, body cams for the black and black uniform-wearing police officers? It won't take a week it will get spoilt or stolen otilo. Most of them are illiterates who can't read or write thou it may work for those types like RRS and those reformed ones but the regular policemen haaaaaaa they will sell the cams.
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 !
Nothing makes the country disgraceful! The activities of a million doesn't make 200 million disgraceful!
The government should try n investigate all prisons in Nigeria..just last month an innocent boy was caught around umuahia simply the policemen asked him a particular direction and the man felt like directing them so he entered thier vehicle hoping to give them direction and go .. unfortunately he was detained till now he is still there...the problem of these policemen is that they purposely detained them so that they can pay for bail which atimes ranges from 150k in naira and above... the cell is at umuahia state cid...the government should check all Police cells all over ...and the worst thing is that as soon they catch u they immediately switched off ur phones
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'
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.
I'm so sorry I missed that. I only saw the surface meaning.
Of course, tribalism's a dirty thing. Imagine not living your best life because you're reserving energy for 'hating' those not of your kind.
I do hope we have reasons to come out for one another more.

My God.
Or scenes where 'Missing Person' was reported in one station, not knowing he/she is detained in another station for one reason or the other.
There is need to revisit all these cases, especially the ones that have never made court.
Don't worry, SMILE, your cousin is chilling with Ojikwu in "the Great Biafra beyond". Ojikwu prepared a special place there for the Biafran angels especially the martyrs so that they can watch the rising sun that never ends.

DesChyko: 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.
Shame on you.. Why are you making this issue a tribal thing.
if you all these information at your disposal, i guess you would used it to establish all these things and 3,000 wouldn't a problem to you. abi na the marketing the money they. scammers everywhere
In a gold rush, you don't sell dig for gold but sell shovel.
Wish i have john wick number Na to provide names of all involved Make bodies start to dey drop They even knew d real bawa ws bailed but did nothing for this guy cos he is a nobody
Ain't your parents too in the so-called disgraceful country?
You must be very daft!! So if his parents are in this country, that should make the country not to be disgraceful?? Why don't you just make your own comment and pass? Or are you a police officer too?
What happened is condemnable and disgraceful to the country, especially coming from an armed authority whose duty is to maintain law and order, not to destroy it!! And all you could do is to look for one comment to correct like a reasonable cow!!
And let me tell you for your information since you are uninformed; In a sane clime that officer will not only be removed from office, but will be prosecuted and face the full wrath of the law for bringing such a disgrace to that country!!!
Power abuse: Reps demand body cameras for security agents.
Members of the House of Representatives during plenary
The House of Representatives has called on the Federal Government to provide body cameras to be attached to officers and men of security agencies in Nigeria and create situation rooms across the country to monitor their activities.
The body cameras, the House argued, will help checkmate cases of abuse of power and human rights.
The House urged the government at all levels to provide body cameras for all security operatives including Nigeria Customs Service on duty across the country.
Furthermore, the House mandated its Committees on Police Affairs; Army; and National Security and Intelligence to ensure compliance with the resolution.
The resolution was based on a motion moved at the plenary on Thursday by a member, Chinedu Martins, titled ‘Need to Provide Body-Worn Cameras for Security Operatives in the Country and Create a Situation Room.’
Moving the motion, Martins noted that the security of lives and properties of the citizens is a primary responsibility of the government.
According to him, security agencies have been exploring solutions to mitigate the growing insecurity in the country, especially considering the lack of adherence to rules of engagement on the part of security operatives on duty.
The lawmaker also noted that a body camera is a wearable audio-visual or photographic system that integrates with in-car video and used to record events involving law enforcement officers in order to improve transparency and accountability of law enforcement agencies.
Martins said, “The House is concerned about allegations of harassment, extortion, and extrajudicial killings of citizens by security operatives, which often results in reprisals and uprising by the citizens.
“The House is convinced that security operatives, who often experience litigious scrutiny over their conduct in the discharge of their duties, ought to wear body cameras in order to have picture and video evidence of their activities;
“The House is cognisant that the body cameras will keep the security operatives in check, considering the massive allegations of human rights violation by security operatives and lack of evidence to indict them.
“The House is also cognisant that the introduction of body cameras will not only douse tension and promote trust and professionalism among the security agencies but will also institutionalise the rules of engagement to foster a harmonious relationship between security operatives and the citizenry.” https://punchng.com/power-abuse-reps-demand-body-cameras-for-security-agents/
