Delta South Senatorial Candidate, Dr. Austin Orette, on Thursday appealed to the Police Service Commission (PSC) to make sure sadists and senseless people are not recruited to the Nigeria Police Force.
"It is an invitation to barbarism when those charged with the duty to enforce laws become the chief violators."
He also described ASP Nuhu Usman, the police officer involved in the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Mene Ogidi in Delta State, as a person of depraved mind.
"I just watched the execution of a citizen by a policeman whose job is to serve and protect the citizens. This glaring abnormality must never be looked at in isolation. For this policeman to execute a citizen who is handcuffed in the glare of the public shows he is a person of depraved mind."
Orette in a statement urged the authorities to investigate the past activities of Nuhu Usman.
"He must have done a lot of killings that are not just in the purview of the public. His career must be investigated. He must be punished to the full extent of the law."
He urged Nigerians to raise money and litigate the case against the Nigeria Police Force.
"When those who are entrusted to enforce the laws become the violators of the law, society must issue punishment that deters any person of this ick."
He also emphasized the need for compensation to support the family of Mene Ogidi.
"The family and the loved ones of the victim must be fully compensated from the police pension and any earned income of this killer who has been fronting as a policeman."
The Delta South senatorial hopeful urged the police to prove to Nigerians that they are not hired killers.
"As we deepen our democratic practices, police must as a matter of urgency embrace democratic ethos. They must get rid of the anti-democratic culture they inherited from military dictators that wasted Nigeria’s best years."
