CIMPPAR-NIGERIA Condemns Police Brutality

 




Civil-Military Police and Paramilitary Relations CIMPPAR-NIGERIA has Condemned the viral video on social media of a Police Officer beating up and assaulting a citizen no matter the provocation 

In a statement, Coordinator CIMPARR-NIGERIA Ambassador Green Isaac
 condemned the actions of the police officer depicted in the viral video on social media, where he is seen beating and assaulting a citizen, regardless of the provocation in Rivers.

'' This behavior by law enforcement officers is not only illegal but also completely unacceptable in a democratic society. The police are expected to be the protectors of citizens and maintain law and order in a fair and just manner. Such acts of brutality and abuse of power by law enforcement officers only serve to undermine the rule of law and erode the trust and confidence of the people in the police force" .

Ambassador Isaac urge the Rivers State Commissioner of  Police,  the AIG zone 16, and the Inspector  General of Police to carry out a swift and impartial investigation into this incident, and ensure that the officer responsible is held accountable for his actions. 

He also called on the police leadership to take steps to ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future, by providing better training to officers on the use of force, and by enforcing strict disciplinary measures against officers who engage in misconduct.

'We stand in solidarity with the victim of this assault, and with all citizens who have been subjected to similar acts of violence and abuse by law enforcement officers. We will continue to work towards promoting greater accountability and transparency in the actions of law enforcement agencies, and towards building a safer and more just society for all Nigerians''.
