Some people are asking why the police hid the suspects' faces. The reason is simply because parading suspects is extremely controversial.


The police parade suspects because they want the public to see the results of their work.

However, the law states that everybody is presumed innocent until they are found guilty by a court. Parading a suspect creates the impression in the minds of the public that the person is guilty. Such a person will face stigmatisation and may even be harmed even if he is later found not guilty by the courts. Therefore, lawyers have often condemned the police for parading suspects before the media.

Last year the Lagos State Government enacted a law that bans the parade of suspects by the police. https://www.nairaland.com/6713970/lagos-bans-media-parading-suspects


The police have been accused of failing to comply with the law.


Now they have found a compromise by taking pictures of the suspects (to show the result of their work) but concealing their faces (in order to comply with the law).

Officers of Orile Division of @LagosPoliceNG yesterday arrested a fake Naval rating, Ekeh Ifeanyi 'm.’ Investigations reveal he was recruited into the Nigeria Navy in 2010 and dismissed in 2011 from the Naval Ordnance Depot, Navy Town, Lagos. Arraignment follows.

Motorcycle (Okada) riders and Lagos State Task Force are reportedly involved in a clash at the Idi Araba area of Lagos.

The Lagos government banned motorcycle operations in some locations since June 1, 2022.

The affected Local Government Areas are Apapa, Eti Osa, Ikeja, Lagos Island, Surulere and Lagos Mainland.

The authorities already seized thousands of bikes which are now routinely crushed publicly.

Reacting to today’s face-off, Lagos Police Command has assured residents of safety.

Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin denied reports that the riders fought security personnel.

“The Taskforce went well prepared. They (riders) were just causing a scene after Taskforce left with some of their impounded motorcycles.”

Hundeyin said the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and men from the Area Command have been drafted to the scene.

The spokesman added that there’s “absolutely nothing to worry about”.
