men have been left in serious pain after police officers tortured and
locked them up for demanding for their parents' entitlements.
The men were allegedly arrested and tortured by the police
The Principal Counsel and Head at Inibehe Effiong Chambers, Inibehe
Effiong has raised alarm over the regrettable manner the Nigerian
police has continued to allegedly breach the rights of its citizens.
The lawyer has revealed how men of the Nigerian police allegedly
arrested and tortured some men for demanding for their parents'
entitlements.
He wrote: "The three arrested, detained and arraigned
next-of-kin of late primary school teachers in Akwa Ibom State 1991-date
after their released yesterday following the perfection of their bail
conditions. They are Benjamin Benson, Eno Kenneth and Utibe Sunday.
"One of them, Eno Kenneth (far left) has informed me that he is
NOT seeing clearly with his right eye owing to severe torture by men of
the Nigeria Police Force, Akwa Ibom State Command. As you can see from
the photos their hairs were shaved, against their wish.
"They were harassed, tortured, intimidated, teargased and
treated like common criminals by agents of the State for daring to
demand the payment of their late parents' entitlements from Governor
Udom Emmanuel and the Akwa Ibom State Government.
"This impunity will not go unchallenged."
