Anambra Police Warns Against Caste Discrimination: Osu Practice Prohibited

The Anambra State Police Command has issued a warning against caste-based discriminations, particularly the Osu practice. Emphasizing the protection of residents' rights and dignity, the police highlighted that such practices are barbaric, unlawful, and go against the Nigerian constitutional order.

The warning, aimed at enforcing non-discrimination, cites relevant sections of the Constitution and laws that prohibit any form of discrimination based on caste, ethnicity, religion, or birth circumstances. The Command stressed that denying individuals their rights due to caste practices is a gross violation of constitutional rights and is unacceptable.

The enforcement of these laws aims to ensure that all citizens are treated equally and with dignity, irrespective of their background.
