Worst things are happening more than what happened at the Midland Saving and Loans Company Limited. There is a lady detective at the Odorkor Police Station who about a month ago detained a nursing mother and her baby under very strange circumstances. was kept at the Police Station deep into the hight and was moved from one station to another looking for a female cell to detain her overnight.Human Rights are being trampled upon by some police personnel under the guise of their uniforms. Such personnel should be flushed out and punished alongside their supporters. the Police Woman is question should be bold enough to go and apologies for the shameful act.The PIPS I know is investigating this case and proper sanctions should be meted out if the police woman in question is found culpable. The Police Service needs proper cleaning alongside the transformation. I am suggesting that the cleaning must come before the transformation process.
