Gaps in Police messages in Nigeria
On

Police authorities in Nigeria have no doubt learnt some lessons from the massive destructions to their formations in many locations following the recent #EndSARS protests in the country. Police operatives, many of them arguably innocent of what caused the protests were greatly traumatized.
According to Mohammed Adamu, the current Inspector General of Police IGP, at least 22 police personnel were killed while scores of others were critically injured, in addition to the destruction of over 205 police stations nationwide. Such an uncivilized approach especially the killings, ought to be condemned because the deceased police personnel were fellow Nigerians whose families may never recover from their losses. Simply put, police lives also matter.

An early morning riot broke out at Rukpokwu, Obio/Akpor local government area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Thursday after a policeman on patrol allegedly shot and killed a commercial tricycle (keke) operator over N100 bribe.
Spontaneous protests were staged by commercial tricycle operators who were joined by angry youths and residents to protest against the senseless killing of the keke driver popularly known as “School boy”.
The angry protesters blocked the Airport road, major and adjoining roads leading to the Port Harcourt International Airport causing heavy traffic with bonfires.
The protesters also tried to march to the Police Special Area Command in Rumuodomaya but were resisted by policemen who shot sporadically for several hours in order to ward them off.
