The slogan of the Nigerian Police Force is 'the Police is your friend'. But their actions do not portray that of a friend to the masses as they are capable of turning the table against a poor man.

Just a few days ago, there were reports of how a police officer severely tortured a pregnant woman which almost led to a miscarriage.

Before now, we had the story of a DPO raping a female suspect and when she raised the alarm, he threatened to kill her.

Another of their propaganda is that bailing someone in police custody but we all know that the police can set a bail as much as N5 million naira to free an accused, especially if they sense that the person is rich.

What of situations where someone who reports a case is turned the accused because the other person is rich?

In fact, their atrocities are innumerable, so on Morning Teaser today, we ask: is the police really your friend?
