“I firmly believe that law enforcement agencies should prioritize their efforts in fighting crime and ensuring public safety.

“Every citizen, regardless of their background, deserves fair treatment and protection under the law. The arrest of Very Dark Man raises serious questions about the impartiality and fairness of the police in their dealings with individuals from marginalized communities. Such actions can exacerbate existing social divides and erode the public’s confidence in the justice system.

“I urge the police authorities to reevaluate their priorities and focus their efforts on combating crime, responding to emergencies, and addressing the genuine concerns of the people. It is important that they adopt community-oriented policing strategies that emphasize building trust, promoting inclusivity, and fostering positive relationships with the residents they serve.NYSC Portal

“Additionally, I call upon the police to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Very Dark Man. It is important to ensure that due process is followed and any potential misconduct or bias is identified and appropriately addressed,” he said.
