FG urged to extend anti-corrup
Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO) Secretary to Imo State, Barr. Louis Alozie has called for the extension of Federal Government-on-going anti-corruption crusade to the officers and men of Nigeria Police, in order to scrutinise their activities and facilitate discipline among the officials and men of the force.
Barr. Alozie, made the call while speaking to journalists in Owerri, Imo State capital on the recent arrest and subsequent release of Messess Edwin Uzoma and Christian Okorie, over alleged vandalisation of public properties.
He regretted that several less privileged people had suffered untold hardship in the hands of the police whom he accused of capitalising on the slightest opportunity to enrich themselves on the expense of hapless citizens.
The human rights activist however, condemned the indiscriminate arrest and incarceration of innocent citizens by both the police and other security operatives.
“Under the law, citizens are not supposed to be arrested, except on reasonable grounds establishing that such persons actually committed the offence. The aggrieved should always approach the judiciary for remedy in order to curtail police excesses”. Barr. Alozie stated.
Furthermore, it will be recalled that Mr. Edwin Uzoma was reportedly arrested and kept in the police custody for a period of time before his recent ‘conditional’ release, following intervention of human rights activists.
However, the social crusader condemned the continued vandalisation of oil pipelines and other public properties across the country and the Niger Delta sub-region in particular which according to him, attracts a life jail term under the miscellaneous offences tribunal act.
