Police Arrest 10 In Lagos For Traffic Robbery

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

A move by Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to launder its image after the spate of backlash arising from the #EndSARS controversy has backfired as a public relations move on twitter has ignited fresh attacks on the police.

The police authorities had tried to launder the image of the force with a flyer depicting on twitter that on Monday, that read thus: “We are not a collection of angels, but we are doing out best to serve you better.”

As the time filling this repost, the post has garnered over 10,000 retweets and 5,865 likes.

However, instead of pacifying the anger of many Nigerians about the police, the message contained in the flyer fueled it, subjecting the force to another round of public criticisms.

Among the reactions was a twitter video post of soldiers in Ughelli, Delta State vowing to crush and kill anyone who breaches the territory of the police.

See reactions;

Please take note. Police have taken the time to let us know they are not a collection of angels. This means they are a collection of demons. After all as I’m not a man, I’m a woman. They want to serve us better with #PoliceBrutalityInNigeria? Just asking o! #EndSARS https://t.co/zPzZLTWYxZ

Nigerians are not a collection of angels neither are we a collection of lab rats. We are just doing our best to live in a country with bad leadership and police brutality .

This is why we want to #EndBadGovernmentinNIGERIA and also #endsars.

Is this too much to ask for?? https://t.co/hfcAifBMBr pic.twitter.com/gf5KFMS9hp

Nobody asked you for angels.
Nobody asked you to recruit angels.

Just be humane.
That’s basically all we ask.

Don’t shoot innocent people.
Don’t kill people because they are poor.
Don’t jail people who commit no crime.

That is NOT being an angel.
That is being a decent human. https://t.co/ov2AsBHIbK

Just FYI, the words you're looking for are 'choir of angels', 'chorus of angels', 'flight of angels' or 'host of angels'. https://t.co/63oAtBlCoC

Beating up suspects, harassing citizens , extorting citizens, killing citizens just because you have a gun and refusing to respect rule of law amongst many other things is not doing your best.

Its mayhem and anarchy. #EndSars #EndImpunityinNigeria #EndOppressionInNigeria https://t.co/R42E2fEQyb
