Peak Newspaper Nigeria Founder and Activist, Comrade Olatunji Babatunde has issued an open letter to the Nigeria Police Force, urging the force to quickly facilitate the return of an AI Ray-Ban Meta Smart Prescription Glasses, which was stolen by a suspected policeman, from outspoken Nigerian activist, Omoyele Sowore by a man who is suspected to be policeman.
The suspected thief, who has now been identified as Aku Victor Chiemere, is alleged to be attached to the Force PPRO, Olumuyiwa Aladejobi.
During a peaceful demonstration on Monday, to seek a better remuneration, bonuses and gratuity scheme for both serving and retired police officers, Aku Victor Chiemere, a suspected Policeman on mufti was captured to have stolen Omoyele Sowore’s AI glasses.
In his open letter, which he posted on his verified Facebook page, Comrade Babatunde berated the Force for allegedly aiding criminality and violating the fundamental human rights of Sowore, by masterminding the seizure of his personal property, one used to aid his sight.
However, he urged the Nigeria Police to act professionally and ethically— to return Sowore’s glasses with immediate effect.
“While the glasses themselves may seem replaceable, the real issue is that getting a new pair is extremely difficult due to a backlog in orders that can take between 3 to 6 months.
“I’m appealing to the Nigerian Police to identify and hold the individual responsible, and to ensure the glasses are returned. If this is the only pair he brought back from the United States, how is he expected to read, drive, or move around safely?” He noted.
