Action speaks louder than words, the adage goes, and by the actions of policemen in Nigeria over time they are more friend than foe. They can’t tell us differently, not even by that Christmas jingle which went viral over the holidays.

Matter of fact, it’s impossible to tell a thug apart from a policeman in Lagos, or anywhere else in Nigeria. They both speak and act alike. We suppose that’s why they are best buddies on the streets.
It’s 2017, and the police force needs to clean up their act. Now. A jingle will not do it.
See below a true life account of policemen manhandling citizens for no apparent reason.
Yesterday I was harassed by policemen at Pedro policestation for refusing to handover my phone @toni_luv @lindaikeji @bellanaija @aleeygiwa

Apparently the police is bigger than the law, since they still go about harassing people and demanding to search phones

Police brutality happens more often than many of you think, most of it is un-reported!

Police isn't your friend. Just a bunch of criminals.

Don't allow any policeman into your car. Don't give them your phones
They have no right!!!— Mr July (@culjeffrey) January 20, 2017
