For survivors for domestic violence in Lagos, the path to justice is often fraught with terror even when the victims collect the courage to approach the institutions intended to protect them. An organization for human rights now argues that their reasons are often encountered with a discouraging reality: the priority of bonds of deposit on in -depth investigations and the true justice that ISMAILA writes.
The Ambassadors of Peace and Enllightenment Foundation have published an invitation to the Police Commissioner of the State of Lagos Olohundare Jimoh, exhorting immediate intervention in what they describe how the alarming relief of cases of domestic violence and abuse by some division police officers (DPO) and investigating the police officers (IPO) under his treatments.
Is the judicial system compromised?
Comrade Prince Salvatore Ies, president of the Foundation, did not chop the words when he spoke to journalists while underlining that police officers had to treat those cases with the gravity they required, above all given their devastating social impact. His accusations are specifically aimed at the practices at the Police Division of Ejigbo, the Police Division Isheri and the Area D command, Mushin, asking for an urgent appeal from the police leadership.
“The question of cases of domestic violence that is truncated by some IPO and DPO is seriously concerned, above all because such cases should be accused in court with evidence to support the requests of the victims,” said Comrade Itti.
He has painted a gloomy picture of how the relationships of several supporters show how little consideration that some division police heads keep in cases of domestic violence; But rather to call the parties and intimidate the victims in submission or possible withdrawal of the case to reduce human rights activities rather than sucking justice.
Ia expressed a deep dismay, questioning: “What justice would have survived if your only hope is to see that the author is arrested and accused according to the law? It is of great concern that in recent times, the police, who should protect the vulnerable, is likely to forgive crime (abusic) rather than witnessing a survival to seek justice”
He also said that groups for human rights, often vital in the intervention and reporting of detailed cases, are regularly put aside with police officers who appear more interested in the bond of deposit.
When aid transforms itself in abandonment
To emphasize his statements, his partner Ia told two excruciating cases which, he says, exemplify the alleged systemic faults:
In the case of a tailor and an apprentice, he said: “A young female apprentice underwent alleged physical and mental abuses at the hands of his tailor head, culminating in the humiliating act of having been kneeling on a busy road. A lawyer who witnessed the anguish scene, issued himself in question. According to the things that released the hours, simply for the holidays.
ICA complained of the absence of an in-depth investigation or adequate reproach, expressing a profound concern for the victim, who, without a police follow-up, could have faced a continuous torture or threats from his oppressor released. This, he observed, is a case among many who has been truncated rather than faced.
He also noticed the case of an abused woman who presented an equally disturbing scenario. “A woman, seriously beaten by her husband, sought help from Isheri’s police division. Here too the police put aside the lawyer of human rights who reported the accident. Instead, the wounded woman was presumably forced to settle with her husband, despite having undergone serious serious injuries to poor assistance. Of her ties and presumably strengthened her belief that she could evade adequate accusations.
The rippled effect
Comrade Ies warned that these actions by DPO and IPO effectively encourage the authors to be sure that they can evade serious legal consequences simply by making the way out. He underlined that “this laxity by the police means that even with evident evidence, the above stations show more interest in the deposit than in the direction of such cases in court”.
The body for human rights, which often spends personal funds to pursue cases for humanitarian reasons, tragically finds their efforts. Their goal of bringing the authors to justice is often undermined, with the cases that end as “unfinished” or “withdrawn”, leaving the victims without appeal than to settle.
“These actions by IPO and DPO would prefer to make some people remain silent if abused rather than reporting, since there is no justice granted to domestic violence in the hands of some officers of the law”, concluded Iici.
He has clearly connected the growing prevalence of domestic violence to the way in which the police manage these critical issues, stating that “more tenacity has implored in cases like this, more reduced events”.
The fervent appeal of the Foundation to the CP Jimoh now represents a crucial test of the commitment of the Lagos State Police Command to protect the vulnerable and support the state of law in the face of alleged systemic failures.
