The Senate Committee on Police Affairs said it is in custody of names of successful applicants to be enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force from the Inspector General of the Police, Mr Solomon Arase. It said that it would soon meet to scrutinize it to ensure that there is no lopsidedness in the exercise.The committee also said it is working with the ministries of Interior and Justice to ensure that a Trust Fund for the Police Force established to complement the budgetary yearly allocations of the force for optimal performance is well funded.

Speaking with journalists yesterday, the chairman of the committee, Senator Abu Ibrahim said his committee was worried over allegations and insinuations that the just concluded recruitment into the Police Force was lopsided;hence there was the need to properly look at the list critically, just to ensure that every zone is properly included in the exercise.
Speaking further, Senator Abu Ibrahim said the allocation ofN19billion to the police out of the total sum of N53billion to the ministry of Interior was inadequate to transform and reposition the police force.
