The officers of the Nigeria Police Force will not desist from using force against harmless civilians until they are taught very bitter lessons.
The matter of a Lagos couple tortured by a policeman, Dada Ogunsanya, who is attached to the Ikoyi Police Division, has finally taken a legal dimension as the couple has sued the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, for N100m damages.
Also joined in the suit are the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Cornelius Aderanti, and the power-drunk police corporal, Ogunsanya.
Ejeh Smith and his wife, Grace, in a suit filed by their counsel, Austin Audu, before the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State, also wanted the police to publish a public apology in a national newspaper. Audu, a lawyer with the Femi Falana Chamber, said that the case was ready.
