Bolanle OlabimtanThe national industrial court has struck down a regulation of the Nigeria Police Force , which forbids unmarried officers from getting pregnant.
Following the sack, Olawale Fapohunda, Ekiti state attorney-general and commissioner for justice, hadbefore a federal high court in Ekiti seeking an order of the court nullifying section 127 of the Police Act. Damulak, the presiding judge in the court’s Akure division, held that the particular section of the police regulation is “discriminatory, illegal, null and void”.
“The court… finds and holds that the provision of section 127 of the Police Act and Regulation 127 thereof, which applies to unmarried women police officers getting pregnant while in service but does not apply to unmarried male police officers impregnating females while they are in service, are discriminatory against unmarried women police officers by section 1 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended,” the judge said.
What a law... But unmarried male police officers can impregnate somebodys daughter right? Nonsense!
