BREAKING: Nigerian Court Quashes Regulation Backing Dismissal Of Unmarried Pregnant Policewoman, Omolola, Awards N5Million Damages Against Police Authorities | Sahara ReportersThe National Industrial Court has struck down a police regulation which provides for the sacking of an unmarried policewoman who gets pregnant. Known as ‘Regulation 127 of the Nigeria Police Regulation made pursuant to the Police Establishment Act 2020,’ Justice D. K. Damulak on Wednesday held that it is illegal and discriminatory. Miss Omolola Olajide of the Ekiti Police Command was dismissed on January 26, 2021 by Mohammed Adamu, former Inspector-General of Police, for getting pregnant barely a year after graduating from the police academy while being single. Wow, so such a law existed? Then they should have a law dismissing divorced persons in the force right? People make mistakes all the time, that doesn't mean they should be crucified! She still has to bettle with thought of wither the Policeng will obey the court order, that's how bad Nigeria is. Disgusting that PoliceNG and MinofPoliceNG are discriminating and maltreating Women. The whole police regulation that treat women differently from men should be reviewed.
