 The Nigerian police have been enjoined to always find a balance in carrying out their civic responsibilities, either for the first graduation ceremony of police officers' trade on human rights, rule of law and code of conduct in Lagos. Speakers emphasised on respect for human rights at all times. Plus, civil correspondents love the Kukui Rokon has more in this report. These are the 91 officers who were successful out of 100 that participated in the three months intensive training. The officers were trained on human rights, rule of law and code of conduct for police officers at an election time, election security and the new criminal justice administration. stakeholders at the events commended the idea behind the training. The belief it would go a long way in helping the police interface with members of the public without infringing on their rights. The training is not usually a one-off training. It's a training that goes on for months. And we do it, we take them through all the ramifications of human rights. And then we give them an exam. We replay, we don't have time, we replay the way they treat people. They see themselves, we replay the better way and they feel happy about it. I also commend the Commissioner of Police under the able leadership, the Lagos State Police Command under the able leadership of CPRB for embracing human rights training for its personnel. This is a clear evidence of the recognition by the Lagos State Police Command of the importance of human rights as an essential and integral component of policing. The 2023 election and hospital rejection of gunshot victims were other issues on the table for deliberation. The issue of casualty taking to hospitals of bullet shots and up to today some police officers will still be arresting hospitals that are treating people with girls gunshots. Life first, you must first of all save life because most of them do not know what the current law is or current directives. They tend to actually act sometimes out of ignorance. So that's why it's very important to continue to train and remind them what the evolving laws are. So this is what they are able to do now. Not of ignorance, there is a law about that. And there is a directive from the Superior Police, you know, that gunshot victims should be treated. And after treatment, the hospital or the doctor who has done that to inform the police immediately. So there is no, it's something we are used to and we are doing that. We have been assisting even the gunshot victims. By allowing doctors to treat them, they have to save, they have the, you know, ethical, you know, right to save life first. And thereafter report to the police. We commissioner cautioned members of the public against offering money for bail as it is free. If anybody asks you to pay money for bail and you tell the person that bail is free and he doesn't agree with you or maybe it does not release your, your, your, your brother for a bill of office, my office is open. I'm very accessible. I've always told people that my office is very open and I'm very accessible. All members of the public can attest to that. You know, so there's no barrier between me and members of the public. Even if any of my men is doing something wrong, let me know. And I will, I will definitely correct it. So I see, I see that bail is free and people should stop giving police or bribing police money for bail. If you are a civilian here and you see where money for bail to police, you are your own. Because we run a civilian training every Saturday, whereby we also have to educate the civilians to demand for their rights from the police. How many of you pay for money? According to the organizers of the event, the training would help change the narrative and build trust in the minds of the populace about the police. Love Ikuku Uiedokum. Plus, 7 years. Hello.
