I Use Allah Beg You! Reform The Police – Speed Darlington Begs Tinubu

Controversial musician, Speed Darlington, has urged President Tinubu to overhaul the Nigeria Police Force.

In a video shared on Saturday, August 23, Speed Darlington emphasized that the Tinubu administration should not focus solely on boosting the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the economy but should also prioritize safeguarding the rights of its citizens.

‘’Mr President, before you leave office, whether you secure a second term or not, try your best to improve Nigeria. Everything isn’t about the economy! There is more to leadership than the economy. See as everybody dey call your name, dey complain. Nobody loves you. Na only the ones you gave work, na them love you. Even your own tribe dey complain about you.

As an Igbo man, the advice I can give you so people will know your name and remember you for something good is to reform the police. Reform the police.

The Nigerian police is an oppressive agency rooted in human rights violation. As a matter of fact, if they do not violate you, its as if they are not even doing their job.

Please before you leave office, please speak your Yoruba brother IGP man.

The idea of arrest before investigation is a pure human rights violation. You arrest and hold a person before you dey investigate.’’

Reflecting on his personal encounter with the police, the musician stated;

‘’I was held for two months after the judge has ordered by release. FID held me for 2 months. According to my lawyer, the Nigerian law gives only 28 days for investigation. They held me for two months. What is the extra month for? Because they can. If you give them money, they oppress your enemy. I have experienced it’’

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
