AsabaPropertyAg: 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.
stuffs2002: Shame on you.. Why are you making this issue a tribal thing
I've had two people react negatively to my pointing out that humanity transcends tribal affiliation.
You and 'aQUINandmore' have reacted negatively to that. More of a concern are the kind of posts both of you share around this forum. I had to take a look as I didn't understand why you are unhappy.
I have to ask for clarity; is there another reason both of you are concerned about a call for oneness? 🤔
this case is quite traumatic, this same scenario played in Sars Akwa, Anambra state and nothing came out of it, i doubt if the culprits will be punished, Nigeria is just a game of thrones with every parastatal flexing its muscle.
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!
Its case like those you see how bad our judiciary system is, After what the man went through, those unfeeling judge still asking him to pay and bail himself with surety, while the police are being leave alone,
in a Sane place, the man will be set free asap, damage awarded to him, and the police sentenced

Typical IPOB cannibals without sense.
Asking you not to tribalise issues in Nigeria means negativity to you? You need help and all I can say to you is may God cure you of your tribalistic mentalities.
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'

just to post news and move ahead you started calling igbo, hausa and yoruba and you are still writing epistle to ask questions. Na wa
adakole: this case is quite traumatic, this same scenario played in Sars Akwa, Anambra state and nothing came out of it, i doubt if the culprits will be punished, Nigeria is just a game of thrones with every parastatal flexing its muscle.
That James nwafor would be in one police command somewhere in this country quietly collecting salary and probably doing evil.
Its case like those you see how bad our judiciary system is, After what the man went through, those unfeeling judge still asking him to pay and bail himself with surety, while the police are being leave alone,
in a Sane place, the man will be set free asap, damage awarded to him, and the police sentenced
You saw that too. Imagine just imagine. The laws of this country need to be changed asap. I'm sure the judge was following the laws hence the bail requirement.
However if there is no accuser then what are you holding the accused for. These are some issues the house needs to get right.

Following the law is one thing, using wisdom6to judge a case is another thing, the most important of which is wisdom,
And it seems almost all judges in this country lack it, If not our prisons would not be congested with inmates awaiting trail, And if Solomon had not been able to fulfil his bail conditions, he would had been one of them too
