The couple who were battered by a policeman in Lekki are suing for N100m.Ejeh and Grace Smith,were battered by a corporal who stopped their taxi. The suit was filed on their behalf by the Femi Falana Chamber, asking the police to pay the couple for the injuries and trauma they suffered from the officer, Dada Ogunsanya.The statement reads
We are suing the police for N100m. We will finalise all documentations by Friday and latest by Monday, we will be in court.”“Frankly speaking, in a democratic setting, what happened to the couple was uncalled for. It is unfortunate that we now have policemen who have no regard for citizens’ rights and have little or no regard for authorities.”
“There is need for the society to rise up and checkmate them at this stage. If we don’t do anything, things could get out of control. The police said they have started taking some administrative decisions, that they have transferred the DPO. That is not enough. We want the in-house administrative discipline publicised in the media,”
Nigerian police are useless
ReplyDeleteSerious matter....hmmmmmmm

ReplyDeleteYes- but God uses people! This might be an answer to millions of Nigerians quest for justice against Police brutality. I hope this puts money in their pockets and fame to their faces.
DeleteThat serves dem right
ReplyDeleteI dnt tink police can pay u dt kind of mony.
ReplyDeleteNaija police? Even if they gather all their 20 20naira together, it won't even be close to that amount. U people should just leave vengeance for God
ReplyDeleteIf they get that money from our yeye police then I'd be damned if it isn't a christmas miracle. This couple want our police to increase the usual 20naira to 500 coz of them ba? Hehe

ReplyDeleteIt must not necessary mean that they ll get 100m maybe they ll settle for 10million.this is what is done in other civilized countries.stop they craze of leaving vengeance to God.the court is meant to be used.
ReplyDeleteYes o! I pray they win even if the court reduce the amount of money to be paid as damages. At least it will help reduce this crazy beating they do to people.

It is Obvious we thave no future in tomorrow with our country Policemen.
ReplyDeleteTheir behaviour alone is subject to questioning and for changes to be made, the mentality of the Nigeria Police should be changed.
-Miss Petit Nigeria, my Tv-
100million ke, For where?
ReplyDeleteGood... Overnight millionaires
ReplyDeleteThey should stop changing policemen uniforms.Despite the way they keep changing it from ash colour,to black,blue and now camouflage,their attitude of extortion at roadblock and human right abuses keeps worsen by the day.Rather,they should reform their"code of conduct"towards civilians.Any policeman caught assaulting or extorting civilians should be dismiss.
ReplyDeleteThe police authority shouldn't bear the cost of paying damages to the couple.The(policeman) culprit who assaulted the couple should be made to pay the fine.How?Half of his salary should be deducted every month until it reaches #100m.
ReplyDeleteGhen ghen! Let's see how this movie ends. I wish with was written by an idealist. But because it's naija, the writer will be a realist.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is that ''THIS IS 9JA'' where laws are flawed and made a mockery of.
It won't work in Nigeria.... 100,000000 ...... ? The amount is outrageous.... If it were a reasonable prize I would have hoped that somehow they might win..... That said I think there should be an urgent check in the Nigerian police because they are infringing on the rights of citizens of this country way too much... Something has to be done urgently.... They are supposed to b protecting us not molesting us...
ReplyDeleteAm sure they wont give them 100 millz but maybe 10-20
ReplyDeleteOpportunity. Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteGhen!! Ghen!!! just watching
