In a powerful statement that has sparked widespread conversation, the Adamawa State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Suleiman Nguroje, has urged law enforcement officers to prioritize empathy in their approach to solving problems. Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Nguroje highlighted the importance of applying common sense and humanity in decision-making, stating, “Sometimes it is better to apply humanity than law in problem-solving decisions because a little kindness can make all the difference.”
Attached to his post was a heartwarming image of a police officer assisting a woman, helping balance a heavy load on her head—a striking visual reminder of how small gestures of kindness from those in uniform can profoundly impact the community.
Nguroje’s message calls for a more nuanced approach to law enforcement, suggesting that while legal frameworks are crucial for maintaining order, there are moments when compassion can achieve far more. In a world where the public often views law enforcement as rigid or disconnected from the everyday struggles of citizens, his statement emphasizes the need for a balance between the strict application of the law and understanding the human side of each situation.
This advocacy for compassion resonates deeply in a time when the relationship between the public and the police is under scrutiny, making Nguroje’s words a timely and vital reminder that policing is not just about enforcing laws—it’s about building trust, fostering goodwill, and making a real difference in the lives of everyday people.
