A social media post detailing how the Nigeria Police Force can be reformed is creating waves in security circles, but disquiet among officers and men of the Force, who, it was learnt, are discreetly investigating its source.
“It is not clear if it was indeed written by a person of lower rank, as he claims; or by a senior officer desirous of changes in the rot that has crippled the Force and made it a but of jokes and disdain among most Nigerians,” a source said.
Recall that the rot in the Force led to the #EndSARS protests that have spiralled out of control, and led to over 69 deaths, massive looting, and rocking of the ethnic fault lines in the country.
The post reads in full:
I whole hearted give my senior officers compliment, “MORNING SIRS!”
My heart had been disgusting for the past decades I have been recruited into NIGERIA POLICE FORCE (NPF). It’s disheartening that many of the corrupt acts carried out by we RANK & FILES, INSPECTORS, P&Gs, DEPARTMENTAL OCs, SOTs, SOs, ADMINISTRATIVE AOs, all in the name of “RETURN” (daily paid return, weekly paid return, monthly paid return, CP’s return, AIG’s return, IGP’s return; has not given the NIGERIA POLICE FORCE to discharge there full policing duty at divisional offices (POLICE STATIONS) and commands..
MY ABLE IGP SIR,, I want you to deeply address this aforementioned issue, sir”
IMPLEMENT THIS FOR A BETTER NIGERIA POLICING:
▪︎ BUILDING AT LEAST TWO POLICE PETROL STATION IN EACH COMMAND, WHERE OUR PATROL MEN FUEL UP THEIR VEHICLES AND PROCEED ON EFFECTIVE OPERATIONAL PATROL, WITHOUT NEED FOR EXTORTION FROM MOTORISTS BEFORE THEY CAN FUEL THE VEHICLE;
▪︎ PUNISH AND DISCIPLINE OF SENIOR OFFICERS WHO LOVE TO FUSTRATE RANKSl AND FILE AND INSPECTORS WITH BAD POSTING AND IMPROMPTU TRANSFER;
3) IGP SHOULD GIVE ALL NPF PERSONNEL LISTENING EAR, NOT ONLY OFFICERS VOICE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED;
▪︎ ALL NPF ACCOUNTREMENTSMUST NOT BE SOLD BY CIVILIANS AGAIN,, ONLY AT STATE COMMANDS;
▪︎ ALL STATEMENT FORMS/STATION DAIRIES/COMPUTERS, GENERATORS, WALKING TALKING (Walkie-talkies), MUST BE ISUED OUT TO DIVISIONS BY EACH COMMANDS, NOT BEGGING FOR IT FROM CIVILIANS;
▪︎ ALL PRINTING MUST BE FROM POLICE PRINTING PRESS,NOT FROM CIVILIANS AGAIN BECAUSE THEY DIVULGE OUT OUR INFORMATIONS AND USE IT TO FIGHT US BACK;
7) ALL DIVISIONAL CRIME BRANCH PERSONNEL SHOULD BE SENT TO INTELLIGENCE AND INVESTIGATING COURSE EVERY SIX MONTHS TO REFRESH THEM (MANY OF OUR IPOs ONLY ACT ON DCOs say pay certain amount of bail fee and you will be released, should Stop);
▪︎ OUR SUPERIOR OFFICERS AT COMMAND CALLING IPOs OR DPO’ks to RELEASE A HARDENED CRIMINAL FROM POLICE CUSTODY SHOULD STOP IF WE NEED CRIME-FREE ENVIRONS:
▪︎ POLICE ACT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ALL POLICE PERSONNEL FOR FREE, NOT SELLING IT TO US;
▪︎ WALKING-TALKING GADGETS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ALL NIGERIA POLICE PERSONNEL WITH GOOD BATTERY FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION WITHIN POLICE FORMATION;
▪︎ SECRET CCTV CAMERAS SHOULD BE INSTORED (INSTALLED) IN ALL DIVISIONAL, COMMANDS LEVEL NOT ONLY IN FORCE HEADQUARTERS, ABUJA..
▪︎ RECRUITMENT OF MORE TRAFFIC WARDENS TO CONTROL TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD;
▪︎ INSTALLATION OF WIFI IN ALL DIVISIONS/COMMANDS IS NECESSARY FOR EFFECTIVE RECEIVING OF MAILS/SIGNALS FROM FHQ ABUJA;
▪︎ BUILDING OF GOOD POLICE BARRACK IN EACH COMMANDS, AND SHOULD BE VISITED AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH BY THE COMMAND CPs;
▪︎ DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST ANY POLICE PERSONNEL WHO GO AGAINST THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE AND SECRECY OF NIGERIA POLICE FORCE;
▪︎ CREATE A LOVE FEAST AT COMMAND LEVEL BETWEEN THE OFFICERS AND RANK AND FILE/INSPECTORS ONCE IN THREE MONTHS, FOR STRONGER LOVE WITHIN THE FORCE;
▪︎ RIOTOUS GUNS SHOULD BE MORE DISTRIBUTED TO DIVISIONAL LEVELS, SINCE CIVILIANS NO MORE WANT POLICE BRUTALITY AND JUDICIAL KILLING FROM WE POLICE;
▪︎ EQUIP POLICE ARMOURY WITH GOOD BULLET PROVES,SERVICEABLE RIFFLES,BALTONS,UNEXPIRED AMMUNITIONS,AND SO ON…
▪︎ ALL POLICE DEPARTMENT MUST BE GIVEN THE SAME WELFARE, POWER TO OPERATE BOTH AT DIVISIONAL AND COMMANDS LEVELS;
▪︎ TRIBALISM/BIAS MUST BE ERASED COMPLETELY FROM NIGERIA POLICING…
