The constituents of Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency have been crying out over the humiliation they face from law enforcement officers along the Bende-Ohafia road. The Nigerian Army at the checkpoint have been forcing travelers to alight from their vehicles and walk across the area, even in the rain.

In response to this, Hon. Osonwa, the member representing Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency, called the Commander of 14BDG Ohafia on Saturday, July 13th, to demand an end to this unwarranted humiliation. He emphasized that such treatment is a violation of human rights and the constitution.

The lawmaker appealed to his constituents who have been affected by this treatment to remain calm and peaceful, assuring them that he is working to ensure that such actions cease. He thanked his constituents for their trust in him and promised to continue listening to their concerns.

Hon. Osonwa’s intervention is a welcome relief to the people of Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency, who have been subjected to this dehumanizing treatment. His efforts to uphold the rights and dignity of his constituents are commendable, and his commitment to their well-being is a testament to his dedication to serving the people.

The incident highlights the need for law enforcement agencies to respect the rights and dignity of citizens, even in the course of carrying out their duties. The humiliation and mistreatment of innocent citizens are unacceptable and must be addressed.

Hon. Osonwa’s prompt response to the plight of his constituents demonstrates his commitment to their welfare and his willingness to engage with the relevant authorities to ensure that their rights are protected. His leadership and advocacy are essential in promoting a culture of respect for human rights and dignity in Nigeria.
