Omawumi Narrates Her Experience In The Hands Of Nigerian Police

Nigerian Singer, Omawumi, has taken to her Twitter account to narrate her bitter experience in the hands of men of the Nigerian Police Force.

The singer revealed that she got into a quarrel with some of the officers who had stopped her to conduct a search, and would have got hurt if she did not remind them of her rights.

“If you want to stop and search.. do it respectfully. I was disrespected today and if I didn’t put my foot down or I didn’t know my rights, I would have ended up seriously hurt,” she tweeted.

Adding, “We can do better by ourselves.. in any position we find ourselves. You owe it to your citizens to be/do better.”

I’m a proud Nigerian that louds the effort of the NPF(Nigeria police force) but today I was a victim of uniformed officers that abused their office.
