In order to curb incessant killings by armed policemen and soldiers,
psychiatrists have called for a reorientation of officers of the armed
forces and the police.
This is against the backdrop of a mobile
policeman, Steven James, who killed three people and himself in Lagos on
Saturday.
A psychiatrist and senior resident doctor, Dr. Olusegun Akinwotu,
said it is important to subject police officers and soldiers to regular
psychiatric screening. “It is important that such officers that carry
ammunition while at work should undergo ‘fit employment psychiatric
screening,’” he said. Akinwotu, while reacting to killing of three
people by a drunken policeman before shooting himself, said: “Those on
the job should also undergo psychological and psychiatric re-assessment
from time to time.”
