The sole responsibility of the security outfits is to protect the citizenry but if the reverse is the case, it shouldn't be attended to with kids gloves.
This call is imperative to checkmate this ignoble trend. I read in the news earlier today of a mobile policeman that killed three persons in a hotel at which he was attached in Lagos.
Among the three killed was a twin of same mother, the only children. Toooo baddddd!!!
Though he paid a supreme price for his stupidity but killing himself when what he did was dawn on him.
I don't have to be a family member of the deceased before I can imagine the pain and psychological trauma that the bereaved will be going through presently.
The video of a mobile policeman threatening and rough handling a girl in a mud can't be forgotten so soon.
Im using this medium to call on the members of the National Assembly (NASS) to enact a law that will bar them from taking alcohol while on duty.
And a reasonable penalty should be attached for the erring officers. We can't continue to lose innocent people due to carefree cum careless lives of the security men.
Unarmed men are always at the receiving end. But I will equally advice the citizens to stop unnecessary argument with this kind of people when they are drunk.
Because we can't say that they are sane. Let's borrow a leaf from one of the words of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
He said "It is only a fool that will argue with a person holding a gun".
This incessant and avoidable killings must stop!!!
