Seun Kuti: The Nigerian Police Is Responsible For Nigerians’ Disrespect For The Institution – Niran Adedokun

The Nigerian Police Force is partly responsible for Nigerians’ disrespect for the institution and the law it enforces.

There could be no excuse for citizens’ lawlessness, but when an organization set up to defend the laws of a country tramples the same, it renders the law helpless and susceptible to abuse.The conduct of some men of Nigeria’s police leaves much to be desired. It ridicules the law and strips it of the supremacy given to it by the people. I will return to the conduct of some police officers but let us consider some ways these law enforcers break the law.

Early on Monday morning, Afrobeat artiste, Seun Kuti, alleged to have assaulted a policeman over the weekend, walked into the hands of the police on his own volition. The police immediately arrested him and put him in handcuffs. The latter action was unwarranted and illegal.
