The statement “Our law enforcement agents are just loyal to Tinubu or anyone in power… they don’t uphold the law,” has sparked a fiery debate about the true role of law enforcement in Nigeria. While law enforcement agencies are meant to serve the public and uphold justice, many Nigerians feel these institutions are more loyal to political power than the rule of law itself.
Not all law enforcement agents are corrupt, and many work tirelessly to uphold the law under challenging circumstances. Instead of generalizing, we should focus on addressing systemic issues, improving accountability, and supporting those who genuinely strive for justice.
