Lagos state Police PRO, Dolapo Badmus, has told Nigerians to know their rights and not allow law enforcement agents to intimidate them simply because they have tattoos on their bodies or dreadlocks on their head.
After speaking as one of the panelists on the topic, “Social Media Wars- Dreads, Tattoos and Passwords” at the social media week seminar, the scintillating police officer took to Twitter to share some of the tips she gave at the seminar.
In the tweet she posted on Thursday morning, Dolapo wrote;
“As expected questions were asked on why bearers of tattoos and dreadlocks were always subject of harassment and intimidation from the law enforcers.?”
”HAVING TATTOO ON YOUR BODY OR DREADLOCKS ON YOUR HEAD DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE YOU A CRIMINAL. Resist the intimidation of any law enforcer who wants to use that as basis to terrorize you by remaining calm, firm, courteous and insisting on not being a criminal for having that.”
