Mob beat policeman to death for killing trader (Page 2)

This article shows no one has respect for any police order. You would think once the police have said 'this place is off limits to trading,' the traders would listen.

The Nigeria police do not have the best reputation. They do not appear to uphold their own ethics - as they are considered one of the corrupt force in the country. However this does not mean they should  be murdered - but they too should desist from murdering.

I have watched live police shooting live bullets to disperse a crowd which we peaceful. I have also witnessed police beating up a bus driver for refusing to hand over money (a bribe) to them. The bus driver in question had done nothing wrong.

The Nigeria police force has to improve its engagement with people not in uniform (they appear to 'respect' those in army uniform without question) and stand for justice and truth. They should stop instilling fear into the public they have vowed to protect.

When this is achieved there will be more people stepping forward to report crime and rumours of crimes.

But for now the people will be their own jury and judge - with people being burnt alive for crimes they most probably did not commit.
