You are under arrest but there is no handcuff to tame you, the police officer may be forced to announce to a suspect soon. This is because, despite official denial, the police force has been hit by a shortage of the cold metal usually used to restrain violent suspects.

The police are already facing problems of inadequate logistics and equipment. Now it’s a drought of handcuffs.
The Deputy Force Public Relations Officer (DFPRO), Mr. Yemi Ajayi, told THISDAY there were enough handcuffs but that officers and men had been warned against indiscriminate use of the security gadget.
But senior police officers who spoke to THISDAY off the record said handcuff shortage had become a big headache as they seek to discharge their duties.

A Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja Command, said his division “has very few handcuffs and that in case there is emergency, my officers and men will be handicapped”.
The DPO explained that because handcuffs are metal, they rust easily.
“Since many of the ones given to my division are now bad, no replacement has been made so far,” he said.
The story is told of a police officer who arrested a criminal suspect, took him to the station and started asking for a pair of handcuffs frantically to no avail.

But the lack of handcuffs is not the only thing tying the hand of the police - even arms and ammunition could be scarce to come by too.
“It is not everything happening in the force that we can be discussing freely. If I tell you that we have just few communication gadgets in my division, will you believe?” a DPO said.

He added that his division does not have up to 20 per cent of arms and ammunition needed to fight crime in the area.
“How do you expect it to have enough handcuffs? I can’t say categorically how many handcuffs we have presently, but I can tell you that we don’t have up to six for the whole division. Until we stop deceiving ourselves and start telling the world the whole truth, it will take miracle to fight crimes and criminality in the country. I have written and written to the authorities to no avail. In fact, I think we should even thank God that we still have some arms and ammunition in the office. Some divisions are fighting crimes with almost their bare hands. This is not supposed to be so,” he lamented.
Another DPO in the South-western part of the country said although the state governor had done well in supplying logistics needed to fight crime, there was still a long way to go.

“Our governor has tried very hard in providing necessary equipment and logistics for the command but it is not enough. If the police high command could contribute their own quota to the development of crime fighting in the state, everybody should then go home to sleep with their two eyes closed. In my division, we have some handcuffs, I think up to like 13, but this is not still enough, putting into consideration the volatile nature of the state. We need more equipment to work effectively,” he said.
Handcuffs are specifically for violent criminals.
But they are also instruments of intimidation and humiliation, as innocent citizens will recount.
Tayo, a fresh graduate, said he had a little misunderstanding with his landlord, who in turn promised to “deal” with him.
“I was at home in the evening of the unfortunate day. It was on a Sunday. I had earlier gone to church and when I came back, I was tired. I managed to eat light food and after taking some malaria drugs, I slept off. Suddenly, I heard a loud bang on my door and in a jiffy, some heavily armed men in mufti had entered my apartment. They slapped, kicked, and even one of them threatened to shoot me at close range. All I could ask for was that these men should spare my life because I thought they were armed robbers,” he said.
Not until he was handcuffed did he know that they were policemen sent to “deal” with him by his landlord.

“Right from our house to the police station which is about two kilometres, I was led by these policemen and handcuffed like a common criminal. At the station, I was only told to apologise to my landlord and ‘grease’ the palm of the policemen. I was not asked to write any statement, neither was I told my offence but warned never to disrespect my landlord again. I left the policemen in the hands of God for divine judgement and also the landlord with his conscience,” he said.
Ajayi, in denying claims of handcuff shortage, said unlike before when policemen handcuffed citizens at the slightest offence, anyone caught in the act would be made to face the music.

“Based on the complaints of indiscriminate use of handcuffs, the police high authority had warned officers and men against such and that is why it seems as if police no longer have it. We are just being mature in handling issues that have to do with humans and I think the Nigeria Police deserve applause for this,” he said.
They would get an applause even from an arrested criminal. After all, his hands are not tied.

A 39-year-old drug trafficker, George Mike Adelabu, is helping officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Airport Command, to unravel how 1.5kg of cocaine found its way into factory-sealed liquid milk cans and other canned foods.

The shocking discovery, which spotlights another wave of drug smuggling, was made during the outward screening of passengers on Emirates flight to India.
The suspect, already in ankle chain, is cooling his heels at the office of the NDLEA.

Also arrested for drug related offences are Samuel Aminat Abiodun, a hair stylist, who deals in jewellery, and a trader, Nkpachi Pedro Collins, 41.

Adelabu, who hails from Ondo State, is married with a son and resides at Epe in Lagos. In his statement, he claimed to have been involved in drug trafficking as a result of frustration.
“I am a trader. I sell clothes. I now hawk my wares because I lost my job. I would have been given $2,500 for smuggling the drugs,” George stated. Upon interrogation, the suspect gave useful information that is assisting narcotic investigators in uncovering more members of the drug cartel.
Aminat, a 44-year-old divorcee with three children, lives at Ikorodu in Lagos, South West Nigeria. She was also arrested during the outward screening of passengers on Emirate flight to India at the departure hall of the Lagos Airport.

During a careful examination of the bag, some suspected powdery substances concealed in the bag were recovered. When weighed and tested, 800 grammes were found to be cocaine, while 5.5kg proved positive for ephedrine.

Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, said t the mode of concealment was a reflection of the desperation and sophistication of drug trafficking syndicates.
“This is shocking. Drug trafficking cartels will continue to devise new tricks of shipping t drugs to preferred markets where they believe they would have more financial value. Who would have imagined that the content of the tins are not milk? The agency has equally risen to the challenge by conducting meticulous search as well as adopting other techniques to counter the illicit activities of drug barons,” Giade stated.
The anti-drug boss advocated a multi-pronged approach in ensuring a drug-free society. While calling on members of the public to volunteer useful information that would lead to drug burst, he assured that such help would be greatly rewarded.

This measure, the agency believes, will encourage people to assist in tracking down more drug barons.
According to Giade, “we are adopting multiple strategies in addressing the drug problem because no one process can adequately tackle the drug trafficking situation in the country. The agency needs the support of all stakeholders and welcomes useful information that would lead to drug burst. This has become imperative because of the strange modes employed in the illicit drug trade. We are prepared to handsomely reward anyone that would give us vital information.”

This country was brought together by silly white men who know little or nothing about the psychological machinations of the typical african MAN. Its like trying to mix oil and water, they will always seperate. And then even after you divide d shambles of a country into two, a minority akwaibomite like me will end up still being treated as nothing by the majority igbos‘/yorubas‘. And to stretch my imagination even further, if akwa ibom became a nation on its own, i‘d still end up as a minority annang chick, taking orders from the so called ibibio majority! bleep you all, nigerians!

the difference is that they will be no killing spree

Desola:
, but the question is: where is there to expand? You go build house only for erosion to carry am go the same year? Mba. We should expand to fertile lands not god forsaken areas. Okoroland has absolutely nothing to offer except of course they don't mind getting eating and being roasted for their New Yam festival.

abeg free them they only want to get away from the poverty in yorubaland which is now alarming , almost 70 percent, na wa for u oo

its funny how these yorubas are always out to defend the northerners even when they are killed like every other southerner, i don't understand this slave mentality honestly. its convenient for them to brand the coup igbo coup even when the northerners that were more affected have admitted it was carried out by both igbos and yorubas, someone needs to start talking , why are yorubas always out to defend hausa fulanis when they are the biggest victim of northern massacre up till today. like someone said its just ego . after the civil war yoruba leaders have been the target of northerners, all the cries of yoruba activist are against the northerners yet these young NL yoruba fools will rather derail threads just to vent their hate on igbos. lastly can someone tell us how AWO died, some said he committed suicide while others said he was assassinated, his death have become a mystery in Nigerian history.

lol i like that guy , typical ijaw man.

very informative , its a shame the people we call our leaders today, we dont even know their history and how they got to their positions.

EzeUche:


The counter-coup of 1966 was a revenge coup against the Igbo who defied Northern power.

the problem with nigerians is not that they dont know or like the truth but that they hate the fact that it means ojukwu and the eastern council that called for a seccesion of the east were right, they would rather turn such informative post to insults against ojukwu and easterners. black people not just nigerian hate the truth.

it seem the country is drawing clear boundries again we now have the north, middle belt, southwest ,south east and soutsouth, 5 regions.

now with ACN involving edo and delta state in their south west agenda its clear we now have 4 regions, SW,SE,MD,North.
