When the law is discriminatory

Dismissed for getting pregnant out of wedlock

By Esther Onyegbula
The unfortunate reality that the Nigerian woman is subjected to discriminatory laws and practices at every phase especially career-wise was re-emphasised recently when a policewoman Corporal Olajide Omotola of the Ekiti State Police Command was allegedly dismissed for getting pregnant out of wedlock.
While some of these discriminatory laws and practices against women are subtly entrenched, others are loud and deeply rooted.
Since the news of the dismissal of Corporal Olajide Omotola from the Nigerian Police Force went viral about a week ago, massive reactions have trailed the decision, condemning the act even as civil societies have called on the police apex authority to reinstate Omolola.

To say that the police have, for too long, been the people’s bête noire is to say the fact. Yet, if there is any issue the #EndSARS protests, which rocked the country in October brought to the fore, it is the other fact, which is, Nigerian policemen hold the wrong end of the welfare stick in the security circle.
