The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said the Nigeria Police is not above the laws of the land, adding that they must be accountable to the citizens.

He stated this during the House Plenary Session which held in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

“We will establish a system of citizen-led accountability for the Nigerian Police Force because in a democracy we have set out to build, the police are not above the citizenry,” he said.

“They are servants of the people. The police are not above the law, they are its guardians. As we endeavour to hold our nation’s police to higher standards of professional conducts, we must also make sure we provide for the welfare of the men and women in uniform.”
