nigerian Man jailed for attack on police officer

DUBAI // A man who attacked a policeman and broke one of his legs was sentenced to three months in prison by a Dubai court yesterday.

JE, 31, from Nigeria, confessed to attacking the officer but denied knowing he was a policeman. He said he had been approached by eight men who did not identify themselves as policemen, the Dubai Court of First Instance heard.

"I don't fight with police, I am a father and have two sons," JE said.

On February 2, 2010, the Naif police station was tipped off about three Nigerian men - including JE - possessing forged credit cards, .

When the police corporal FA inquired about JE at the reception area of a hotel that night, JE charged FA and assaulted him. Police said FA had been unable to defend himself because he was working alone.

Following the assault, FA required surgery. A medical report said FA suffered a 10 per cent disability in his leg due to the assault.

JE will be deported after serving his prison term.

If you do the crime, you may do the time in prison. This nigerian man will
definitely go to prison and have alot of time to think about his actions.
The report said the man was in possesion of forged credit cards. He
should have been prosecuted for that too.

When Nigerians commit crimes overseas, they forget that their behaviors
affect other nigerians in that country. It is easy for the police in some countries
to treat all nigerians they come in contact with as criminals.

UAE government should be thanked for sending this man to jail. If he had
committed the crime in Nigeria, he would never have been punished.
Some nigerian men do not have respect for the law or the police.
They take that disrespectful attitude with them overseas.
I hope this convicted criminal will learn some manners and lesson
in proper behavior in a civilized society.
