THE QUESTIONS & OUR ROLES
? We are yet to see the IG effecting the directive on the withdrawal of policemen from VIP's. This is one of the things that erode the trust of the from government from the citizens.
? Why is the issue of 'Bail is free' as enshrined is our constitution not reemphasized?
? Why is the installation of surveillance cameras in all the nooks & crannies of the country as we have in other saner and working nations not revisited to help curb all these excesses/corruption if there is any seriousness on the part of government?
? Why is the police hierarchy not constituting a monitoring team that will be dominated by human right activists, youth organizations and unionists?
OUR ROLES
? To rise up and give solidarity to any citizen about to be brutalized, victimized, extorted or harassed in our society.
? To make public any police station where money is requested for bail.
? To smartly record any interaction with security operatives to avoid denial or lies.
? To avoid giving bribes to police and other security operatives.
? To give all necessary supports to the police so as to discharge their duties effectively.
? To raise alarm where and whenever any of these excesses have been committed.
Remember we are the number one security of ourselves, homes, surroundings and immediate communities!
Good evening Nigerians!!!!
