Cross River police spokesperson urges legal action instead of violence

Cross River police spokesperson Sunday Eitokpah has urged Nigerians to respect lawful police authority while using legal channels to challenge alleged misconduct, Premium Times reports. Eitokpah made the appeal in an article written after a mob attack on a police officer. He warned that violence against officers undermines the rule of law.

The spokesperson’s position, as summarised in the available material, is that members of the public should seek legal redress when they believe police personnel have acted improperly rather than resorting to attacks. The supplied report does not provide details about the mob attack, including when it occurred, where it happened, the officer’s condition or whether arrests were made. It also does not identify the specific misconduct concerns referenced by Eitokpah.
