This is wrong and extreme police brutality. This case should not be allowed and justice should be served. This case was recently reported by a facebook reporter who shared this story of a young man
named Kabiru Ahmed. The facebook user shared these photos of Kabiru who was beaten up to pulp by police officers for asking them what his offense was after they raided his area and were arresting youths indiscriminately.
Here is what he wrote in his post.
"Over the years, men of Nigerian Police Force
have created bad Image as the Violators of Fundamental human right.
According to a reliable Source, Kabiru’s Crime was demanding an
explanation on the reason of an arrest about to be launched in his area,
only to become the victim.
The primary
suspects were left and Kabiru was bundled into the police vehicle and
conveyed to Double Station here in Jimeta. There, the policemen attached
to the station, brutalized the innocent Kabiru to a coma and left him
with no medical attention.
His family
were later in the night called (after denying access to him severally),
to report to the station and evacuate their son’s lifeless body.
Presently, the perpetrators of this dastardly act have continued their
usual daily business while the lifeless body of Kabiru lays in FMC,
Yola, helplessly hanging between life and death.
Close
to a month now, Kabiru still remains in a deadly coma and there was no
single effort either from the perpetrators, their DPO or the state
Police Commissioner to show their remorse on this unholy act.
Personally, I feel more than sympathy for this innocent young man;
in fact, I feel deep empathy for Kabiru not just for his family’s
financial incapacitation, but for the saddest part of the whole story
that Kabiru is presently on the verge of losing his spinal cord. Inna
Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun.
"For these and the basic fact that tomorrow might be me or you, we demand Justice for Kabiru.
1-
We call on the well to do in our society to come to the aid of Kabiru
by supporting his family so as to have better medical attention
elsewhere.
2- We insist that the IG and CP must take full responsibility and do everything possible to ensure the recuperation of Kabiru.
3-
We further insist that the perpetrators must face the full wrath of the
law so as to serve as a deterrent for their likes and ensure Justice
prevails.
We call on all stakeholders #Media, #Humanrightactivists, to join us in this. Police is not above the law.
#JusticeforKabiru”
