The National Human Rights Commission, NHRC has called on law enforcement officials to respect the law.
The Commission’s Executive Secretary Tony Ojukwu made the call in Abuja while reacting to the invasion of the Federal High Court, Abuja by the Department of State Services, DSS operatives to re-arrest Omoyele Sowore who was earlier released by the same department.
He said that the commission had watched with dismay the conduct of law enforcement officers in “facie curie” on Friday December 6 at the Federal High court Abuja.
Ojukwu reiterated the need for law enforcement officials to understand that to qualify as law enforcement agents, they must first of all be law abiding and not be above the law.
The Executive Secretary urged all the relevant agencies of government to arrest and try all law enforcement officers involved in the desecration of the hallowed chambers of the high court for contempt in the face of the Court.
