POLICE UNIFORM Vs. BRUTALITY
Just may be the colour of their uniform is having a negative influence on their conduct.Recently on my way back home one evening,i saw a policeboy beat up a bikeman for riding his bike after 7pm and resisting arrest.I walked up to the policeboy and had a word with him but he refused to stop hitting the bikeman and so i walked away and headed home,Reaching home,i immediately went to chapter IV of the constitution of the federal republic,section 34-right to dignity of human person,sub-section 1,every individual is entitled to respect for the dignity of his person,and accordingly
1a. no person shall be subject to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment.So i was sure that the policeboy had no right to hit the bikeman,the bikeman can be detained and charged to court within 24 hours since there is a competent court of law within 40km from wimpey junction,port harcourt.Also recently two mopol men attached to FCMB plc,ikwerre road,had a fight with another mopol man for parking his bike in front of the bank to discuss with someone,they eventually broke his neck openly on the road(to serve and protect with integrity??).The reform needed in the police force has to do more with character recruitment and not a change of uniform.While i welcome the new uniform of sky blue on black trousers,i also demand that a character as well as welfare check be carried out on all serving police men.They've to stop being a threat to the citizenry whom they are suppose to protect and serve with integrity !!!
