The Ibadan branch of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) has recommended psychiatric test for policemen, before they
are allowed to carry weapons.
NBA said it would help reduce cases of extra-judicial killings by the police.
In a statement by its Chairman, Mr. Luqman Laoye, at the weekend, the association urged the Senate and House of
Representatives Committees on Police and Human Rights to organise an open forum and seek public opinion on how
to prevent extra-judicial killings.



It also urged human rights organisations to closely monitor cases of extra judicial killings and ensure the prosecution of
perpetrators.
The statement reads: “We join other well meaning Nigerians and organisations in condemning the spate of killings by
policemen in recent times.
“As an interim step to curb the rampant cases of extra-judicial killings by policemen, we suggest that psychiatric tests
should be conducted on policemen, especially the rank and file, to determine those that are fit to be entrusted with
weapons. Those found to be unworthy should either be weeded out or transferred to positions where they would not
constitute threats to the public.
“We also call on the Senate and House of Representatives Committee on Police and Human Rights to urgently
convene a public/stakeholders’ forum to come up with other suggestions on how to curb this menace.”

I bet that even the IGP will fail the test.

Psychiatric and IQ test should be a must for the Nigerian Police!

This must be a one-off thing rather should be a continuous exercise.
