In 2011, Emmanuel Tomori was driving home from work when a stray bullet ripped through his car and shattered his arm. The officers manning that checkpoint had been drinking since 6pm. When the shot went off, they scattered instead of helping him.

He was 32. A rising visual effects artist working on some of Nollywood’s biggest shows. Within seconds, that life ended.

What followed exposed everything wrong with how the Nigerian police handle their own failures. A Divisional Police Officer visited weeks later, with Milo and milk, and a verbal promise to cover his hospital bills that never materialised. No formal support. No accountability for the officer involved. Just silence, while Emmanuel sold his belongings, borrowed from family, and took out a loan to fund surgery in India.

15 years on, he’s 47, permanently disabled, unable to shake a hand, living with pain he manages through sheer improvisation because no one else stepped in to help him manage it.

What’s more, he lost his footing in the job market because employers saw his hand and quietly disappeared. He’s spoken about how close he came to giving up entirely.

A Federal High Court ruled the police were responsible for what happened to him. That ruling has sat unenforced for over a decade, through multiple Inspectors General, a national reckoning during EndSARS, and international media attention. Nobody in the institution has been made to answer for it.

This is what unprofessionalism inside the Nigerian police actually costs, not just a bullet, but a life quietly dismantled afterward, with no one held to account.

Have you or someone you know experienced police negligence like this?

Whew!!!😥 😰

If you’re in this category, how many times do you think of a new career every day?

It’s not an easy place to be at all. To everyone hustling and constantly improving themselves, it will pay off really soon.🙏

It’s been a while, professionals. How have you been?
