One Twitter user simply
identified as Kelsonwa had asked what the command was doing about the “bad”
state of cells in the police stations.
“What are you doing about your
cells, whereby a person being detained can’t even breathe fresh air before he
or she gets bail,” the user had asked.
@PoliceNG_Enugu what are you doing about you cells, were by a person been detained can't even breathe fresh air before he or she gets bail— ̈́lα ͂K£Ls ™ ²º17 (@Kelsonwa) March 30, 2018
Apparently angered by the tweet,
the command immediately took a swipe at the user.
The reply did not go down well with many Nigerians, with some accusing the police in the state of having no regard for human dignity.Sir, you don’t go to cell expecting to be served Chicken and Chips. https://t.co/dgC7B14maq— EnuguStatePolice (@PoliceNG_Enugu) March 30, 2018
One user with the name Ifeatu
said: “This reply is Lame. And proof that @PoliceNG_Enugu has zero regard for
human rights and dignity.”
Joe Abah, who is very influential
on the social interactive platform, described the response as “shameful.”
This is even more shameful. I have visited Enugu prisons. If your prisons reflect the priority you place on human rights, it is clear that you have none.— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) March 30, 2018
This is a shameful tweet, which I have reported to your bosses.— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) March 30, 2018
Woow.. Everyday you guys stray further away from the light. So disgusted.— OLUWAYEMI (@Yeahmeahh) March 31, 2018
He mentioned 'breathing air'. I did not read anything about chicken and chips. This is a biased and shameful tweet from a representation of a law enforcement agent in Nigeria, and its sad. Smh.— Immanuel Nwankwo🇳🇬 (@ImmanuelNwankwo) March 31, 2018
Human Rights you talking about how many human right activist do you have in each station and how many of them are called upon,when needed?— ̈́lα ͂K£Ls ™ ²º17 (@Kelsonwa) March 30, 2018
The command, however, later
cleared the air, saying it was “not in our plans to violate anybody’s right, as
the Nigerian police strive to secure lives and properties while administering
transparency injustice.”
