EXPOSED! The Rot in Nigeria Police Force, by a Frustrated Police Officer
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

“I have a Phd and head a @PoliceNG tactical unit, myself and my unit work with pains and bitterness because they work under pressure to give returns to those above and nothing for them.“

What do you do when your “friend”, turns his back against you. When he who is called to scratch your back, comes with carpenter nails attached to his fingers. When the one call to blow dirt from your eye, comes with a mouth filled with pepper. This has been the relationship between the average Nigerian and officers of the Nigeria Police Force. The harsh reality of Nigerians, dying at the hands of those who swore oaths to protect them.

Over the last three years, however, the music changed, and in the cause of a week, the music became louder. The streets of major cities and states in the country witnessed agitations of thousand of Nigerian youths. They trooped out in large numbers with placards and megaphones in protests against these brutality, high-handedness, extortion and other infamous criminal acts of the force, more precisely, of the defunct Federal Anti Robbery Squad, FSARS.

In the middle of all of these pandemonium, the question of ‘Why?‘ was raised. Why are the officers killing? Why does your friend become your enemy? Why are police Officers behaving the way they are?

In answering this question, a Police officer who spoke to anonymously to pro-democracy and civil rights activist, Kayode Ogundamisi, exposes the rot in the police force. His revelations are presented below as published on the Twitter account of Kayode Ogundamisi.

  1. The Nigeria Police Forces as institutional problem. Corruption flows from top ranking officers to the officers on check-points. The rot as eaten into every fiber of the force, thereby, leading to state of “every man for himself”.

3. Every @PoliceNG operational team on checkpoints, raids makes a targeted KPI weekly monetary return to their commanders, DPO's and HOD's who in turn makes return to the CP of the State or the CP in-charge of the unit. These CP's makes return to IGP. The PMF is not exempted.

7. "I have a Phd and head a @PoliceNG tactical unit, myself and my unit work with pains and bitterness because they work under pressure to give returns to those above and nothing for them. I can not stop the boys so I lecture part time to make up for my upkeep. The rot is huge"

— Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí (@ogundamisi) October 15, 2020

2. Godfatherism

5. He Advised the Nigerian government to immidiatly ban @PoliceNG officers from operational "stop any arrest" based on expiration of driving or vehicle license as it is a money making scheme. The VIO or @FRSCNigeria should focus on this and transfer cases to police if need be.

— Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí (@ogundamisi) October 15, 2020

9. .@PoliceNG get international supports for training officers, when the slot comes, you never hear anything, all international courses are shielded in secrecy and you only see privileged people go, office based staff are sent for tactical command weapons training abroad.

— Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí (@ogundamisi) October 15, 2020

3. Lack of trust from the public.

16. The public must fight for @PoliceNG officers, do you know we rations ammunitions and guns, the weapons we use against robbers with automatic weapons are outdates, when did anyone offer to visit a police station or barrack to see how we live.

— Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí (@ogundamisi) October 15, 2020

18. Those talking about @PoliceNG by officers on the streets should check how much a sergeant is paid, not to talk of a constable, you can not pay an officer 59 Thousand Naira a month, he buys uniform from it, transport and feed family and you expect the best from him.

— Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí (@ogundamisi) October 15, 2020

20. I am telling you that the @PoliceNG officers adopted by some States who pay them extra are doing very well, crime is low and they are dedicated. Nigeria should withdraw police on 'special duties' with VIP and those with money and influence. #END.

— Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí (@ogundamisi) October 15, 2020

The anonymous officer also revealed some of the atrocities of some police-men.

12. ?? Every young guy on dread or rugged Jean is a fraudster or suspected kidnapper. A certain Bishop and a police man called Malaysia in Eziama division takes people on gunpoint to ATM and push them out of vehicles late night. These bad officers can be located by @PoliceNG

— Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí (@ogundamisi) October 15, 2020

14. ??Ohuru-Isimiri Division in OBINGWA LGA is a nightmare to tricycle and motorcycles riders. You can visit to ask members of the public about all these stations in Aba. What happens in Aba is replicated across the other @PoliceNG divisions across the country.

— Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí (@ogundamisi) October 15, 2020

Sorry guys, I know I said end, but it still keeps coming.

21. The Abayi divisional police officer recently assaulted a lady sexually and detained her for stealing his money. Let the CP investigate him. Let all SARS personnel be sent back to Police Colleges and Training Schools
