In a statement issued
by the Police on Monday, they gave the reason why the policemen present at the lynching of the four UNIPORT students beaten and burnt to death on the 5th October, were unable to rescue the students from their attackers. Read the senseless reason below;
"The police on getting to the scene met a mob attack on four victims
who were supposedly the suspected armed robbers," the statement signed
by Nigeria’s national police chief Mohammed D. Abubakar said. “Attempts made by the police patrol team to take over the suspects
were met with stiff opposition from the mob, who chased the team with
stones.”
"The four police officers at the scene then called for reinforcements,
but they arrived after the victims were “stoned and burnt to death,
while the mob immediately took to their heels."
Imagine! Policemen afraid of stones. Why didn't they use tear gas to disperse the crowd? If it was to collect bribe, nothing would have stood in their way. Idiots!
We don't have police in Nigeria, what we have is thugs in uniform. I lost hope in the Nigerian Police a long time ago.
