The Police Service Commission has condemned in strong terms the assault of a Police Officer by one Seun Kuti.

The Commission commended the Inspector General of Police, Baba Usman Alkali for his prompt action in ordering the arrest and prosecution of Seun who obviously has diminished the sanctity of the symbol of authority of the Nigerian nation.

A statement signed by its spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani also said “

The Commission demands that the culprit must be arraigned immediately and that the Inspector General must ensure that the matter is followed to it’s logical conclusion to restore public confidence in the Nigeria Police as the lead Agency in internal security and in it’s ability to
maintain law and order and also protect lives and properties.

Chairman of the Commission, Dr.Solomon Arase, former Inspector General of Police said “no matter the offence the Police Officer committed, nobody, including Seun Kuti has the right to assault a Policeman in uniform and on official duty”.

Dr. Arase “frowned at the effrontery of Seun to slap the Police Officer, insisting that Nigeria is not a Hobbesian state where might is right.

“We must as a civilized people explore established channels of complaints against alleged infractions by law enforcement Officials rather than this uncouth behavior in
assaulting the symbol of authority in our country” he noted.

“We look forward to the prompt prosecution of Seun to act as a deterrent to others of his ilk” Dr. Arase added.

He further commended the Police Officer for refusing to be provoked by the action of his aggressor, a development he said would have been more fatal.

The PSC Chairman said it was unfortunate that at a time the Management of the Nigeria Police were dealing decisively with Officers who harass, intimidate or assault civilians on our roads and work places, the same Police Officers have become victims of the actions of some uncultured elites.

He said the Police should use the present incident to set an example that this will never be tolerated in Nigeria, a country governed by laws, rules and regulations.

The Chairman noted that the groundswell of public opinion against the conduct of the abuser is indicative of the love and respect Nigerians have for the law enforcement
Officers.

This he said underscores the need for all Police Officers to continually respect the right of the populace and be professional in all their conduct.

Over 40 murdered in Nassarawa state...... Where is PSC?

LeoDeKing:

Seun kuti was seen on camera assaulting a police officer in uniform on the road .

Show us the location of the killers responsible for the killing of over 40 and if the law fails to take action, you can start making noise.

Besides, your noise won't stop appropriate action against Seun Kuti

Corridon:
So it is now his duty and not that of the police to fish out the Killers of Nassarawa people? I give up on you.

LeoDeKing:

Seun kuti was seen on camera assaulting a police officer in uniform on the road .

Show us the location of the killers responsible for the killing of over 40 and if the law fails to take action, you can start making noise.

Besides, your noise won't stop appropriate action against Seun Kuti. If biafuro law states that an offender should be left off hook because another effendi is at large, the Nigerian law doesn't operate that way.

LeoDeKing:

You have to give up on yourself first.

He was talking about offenders still at large as a reason to oppose the prosecution of another apprehended offender.

You need to be reading slowly for better comprehension, rather than hoping from one thread to the other busy typing dogshit.

Thekaghan:
He was wrong to slap the Police man. I learnt he decided to go violent because his family was threatened

Corridon:
As expected, you didn't disappoint in typing gibberish.

DMerciful:
How do we know that? Besides, its not a justification to physically assault a policeman

Thekaghan:
Already said that he was wrong to slap the policeman

zeuss:
Over 40 murdered in Nassarawa state...... Where is PSC?

JDistribute:

Does the law states that they should allow everyone go scot free when they have committed a crime, because some escaped unprosecuted?

Your theory not reasonable.

zeuss:


If they deployed half this energy on the evil herdsmen murder spree.... Instead of their deafening silence......... The murdering herdsmen and their sponsors would have long been prosecuted.
You are not being reasonable.

JDistribute:

Try to be reasonable, don't allow your emotions rule your head.

DMerciful:
Whenever you see ..you're wrong but....a justification is coming along. That justification does not help the society. If the policeman was armed, it wouldn't have happened

Illegal1:
Omoh.......nigeria police dey useless past average nigeria grl..

they deserved to be slaped and killed every day..

i will be the last person on earth to pity any police man.
