The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has described refusals by any Nigerian called upon to assist its officers being assaulted or in danger of assault or resistance in the discharge of their duties, as a punishable offence under the law.
This feedback from the Nigerian Police Force is coming on the issues of several reports about Nigerians ignoring police officers who are in danger .
According to the Police Force Public Relation Officer ” It Is s a crime to see a police officer in need without helping him or her ” . Such a witness can go to jail because of it .
Nigerians are therefore advised to ensure they assist police officers in need whenever they see them.
