If you want to know how good or bad a country is even if you have little information about the country, the first places to visit are their police station and prisons, you will see the beginning and the end of that country there...

Isn't it funny that all those who spoke about police reforms didn't put a date for the implementation of the reforms?

Did they all forget this?

Another thief talking

Nigeria police force is just another corrupt and useless organization, tormenting people they ought to protect, they destroy more lives and properties than they protect them, only useful for the rich.

We will continue to support the Minister of Police Affairs in the task of delivering security and safety to Nigerian citizens by augmenting what he is doing and what our principal the President is doing at the federal level in our various states as much as we can, as much as the resources in our states permit us to do.

A surrogate we have come to discover is his cousin from the maternal side.

Other South South governors, Obaseki and Wike and co, beef up security in your states, on the highways and borderlines, the terrorists from the South want to infiltrate. Cut off their heads.

Right!

God bless the NPF

Mumu talk. You want to reform the police in a country that is not reformed & doesn't have a progressive direction.

More like a cook adding more water to dilute the salt level of the already over salted food.
