I Hate My Country Nigeria - IAmmiira_

A viral story has emerged of a woman arrested for the death of a man in a hotel, claiming she acted in self-defense to stop a rape attempt. Without evidence to support her claim, the police arrested her, but their insensitive remark—suggesting she should have allowed the rape and reported it afterward—has sparked outrage.

While the police’s statement is undeniably inappropriate and dehumanizing, another comment—“I hate this country”—oversimplifies the situation, ignoring the complexities of justice. The arrest, though difficult, follows legal procedures since a life was lost, and evidence is needed to establish self-defense. This case reflects the delicate balance between demanding humane treatment from law enforcement and ensuring that due process is upheld when dealing with loss of life.
