Nigeria Police Force as Instruments of Intimidation: Yahaya Balogun Backs Sowore, Urges Tinubu to End Abuse of Power and Religious Manipulation
In a strongly worded opinion, writer Yahaya Balogun condemns the growing abuse of power within the Nigeria Police Force, describing the institution as an instrument of intimidation against ordinary citizens. Supporting Omoyele Sowore’s call for a total police overhaul, Balogun urges President Bola Tinubu to urgently address police misconduct, unlawful arrests, and collusion with dubious religious leaders. He warns that the misuse of law enforcement to silence critics, alongside the manipulation of religion for financial exploitation and control, threatens free speech, democracy, and national reform efforts. Balogun calls on the Inspector General of Police to restore professionalism, discipline erring officers, and ensure the police serve justice rather than oppression in Nigeria.
