Ok so to Naija
Here we go...
Lagos State Police PRO speak on indecent dressing...
What do you have to say about the latest war on indecent dressing by the police?
Mr Bode Ojajuni "It is in the interest of the public"
But the police are abusing it, they even arrest innocent people at night without no reason
Mr Bode Ojajuni "We are only arresting people that are suspected. Don't you know that some ladies are being used to commit crimes? Those who are innocent and we screened them, were always immediately released by the police"
Don't you think the exercise is an infringement on people's fundamental human rights to freedom of movement?
Ojajuni "When robbers attack you, that is when you will know that it's not about fundamental human rights"
What an Arse! Ass! Arss! In every way it can be spelt!

On a final note, I'd like to send my condolences to the family of Thisday's deputy Editor, 36 year old Samuel Famakin, who died on Thursday July 26th 2007. I don't know him personally, but his death seemed to have affected a lot of Naija journalists, who seem suspicious of the way he died. He was a father of two and his wife is 8months pregnant. May his soul rest in peace. Also, to the family of Ibukun Adeniyi, the undergraduate who died on the Lagos-Benin road, on her way back to school, and to Senator Obanikoro, whose daughter was the only survivor of the accident. May pretty Ibukun rest in peace...amen!
See y'all later.
My fav part of your blog. lol. You know wots funny a while back I was like it would be nice to have a site where you can read all the soft sell gist online, and vioola. Well not all sha but you dey try.
ReplyDeletePer the people who lost their lives, may they RIP. May God see their families through it because losing a loved one is one heartbreak you can never heal from no matter how hard you try.
I think the Police PRO is a crass lunatic..Now we have police chasing people up and down as if we are still in the military era. Instead of them to look for armed robbers and area boyz or street urchins they are dissipating their energies harrassing and arresting innocent women. i think it's because they don't allow them to collect N20 anymore they now shifted their attention to women. Who the f..k are they to dictate to women how they should dressed?
ReplyDeleteIt is shocking that in this age, in this present so called democratic dispensation, some idiotic religious zealot pretending to be the CP Lagos can harass and humiliate females in this manner. It is barbaric and shameful.it is a clear violation of the rights of these Nigerians. A right the present IG of Police vowed to protect when he claimed (refer below)
We are in a democratic dispensation where things are done according to law. In all our actions due process must be followed. There is no room for arbitrariness. Law and law alone must be our guiding principles when acting in furtherance of our statutory duties. The constitution provides for the freedom and liberty of citizens which can only be abridged as required and provided for by law. The law also presumes the innocence of suspects unless proven otherwise. I must therefore warn that wrongful arrests and detentions will not be tolerated as this would be visited with appropriate sanctions....
I think the CP is demented and should be mentally checked. Bunch of nonetities.
Naija polics dey MAAAAAAAAAAAD...no further comment :(

ReplyDeleteAbout the people who lost thier lives may thier souls rest in peace,may life begin to mean more to the contractors who were supposed to repair that benin?ore roads and did not do it or did not do it well or to the govt officials who instead of giving the contract to the right people did not becos of egunje,thats is what will robe them in,You see what goes around will come around to all of us,it is neccessary we go out of our ways to do only that which is right at all times,I am talking to myself too.
ReplyDeleteNow! lets get to the one that got my full lights on,Linda please donot edit any of the following send it straight to the police idiot on my behalf,what an illiterate,what an old illiterate everyday lagos as well as nigera is being tormented by armed ROBBERS,I have to think twice everytime i come home becos i feel so unsafe in my own country and all this half man half animal can do is arrest girls for indescent dressing,and when it comes to human right he cannot even spell it,it means nothing to him,when will this sort of antique rot get out of office and allow fresh minds do thier bit for our country,it so baffles me that nigeria is filled to the brim with intelligent young men and women who go out of thier counrty and improve other countries but cannot do the same here because they are being suffocated by old rot who say they have got experience,while nodding wisely and speaking foolishly;
O YA BABA POLICE PRO COME AND GO HOME, GO AND BABY SIT YOUR OMOMO (GRAND CHILDREN)
YOU HAVE DONE YOUR BIT,LET THOSE WHO KNOW ABOUT HUMAN RIGHT COME IN...THANK YOU SIR.
