The Human Rights Monitoring Agenda (HURMA) has implored President Bola Tinubu to reject the amendment bill to the Nigeria Police Act 2020.
The Human Rights Monitoring Agenda has implored President Bola Tinubu to reject the amendment to the Nigeria Police Act 2020.Olaitan said the bill, which seeks to extend the service years of police personnel, undermines the rule of law and could cause internal discord within the force.
“It is amazing to note the overzealousness of the distinguished members of the National Assembly in passing a Bill to amend the Nigeria Police Act, 2020, to accommodate Mr Kayode Egbetokun’s prolonged tenure despite his reaching the mandatory retirement age of 60 years.
“The police, as one of the pillars of democratic institutions, should not be manipulated by the personal ambitions of an individual who has exhausted all his possibilities in leading the Nigeria Police.“Based on the foregoing, we urge the President to uphold the Oath of Office sworn upon becoming President of all Nigerians. According to the Oath of Office, ‘I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will’.
