Sahara Reporters captures the poor conditions of what Nigeria calls its Police Force and inmate facilities








This is where children and female suspects are kept

This is the open space where statements are taken and suspects are interrogated

This is the toilet for senior police officers at the Mpape Divisional Headquarters


The glamorous outlook of the Maitama Divisional Headquarters is a mirage compared to its operational capability



The Maitama Police Division at least displayed information of persons detained



Cut open window in the male detention cell has been blocked by heaps of rubbish to abate the stench of the inmates human waste


The DPO of the Maitama Police Division briefing a team of visitors on the station's challenges


The breakdown of Police personnel under the Maitama Police Division





Bashed in and vandalised as if to say, 'of what use do these suggestion and public complaints boxes serve




Cramped up like sardines male suspects defecate, urinate and sleep inside this container


Even the station's banner stands obscure

@Post

What a joke. No wonder they take out their anger on you civilians.

In Abuja? OMFG!!

Needs a total makeover. SMH!

The condition is pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there should be a total makeover from the people that is recruited, the working conditions, their benefits, if the police force palava is not looked into then Nigeria, might not be able to stand for long, because the ones we have there now, are utterly useless.

Not in any way condoning collecting bribe but I can now understand why they may be involved in it.

No Wonder . . . . !!!

Kenny Martins a cousin to OBJ eat a wooping 75 billion naira meant for police equipment funds. He is now a free MAN spending his fuccking loot.

The PDP-led evil government allowed him to GO scot-free.

The ugly mess is staring at us. 2012 is going be veeeerrry intresting year.

One Naijeriya.

You are effectively sanctioning corruption by custodians of the law because of poor working conditions.
If we stretch this logic further, would it be considered acceptable to afford our poor suffering nurses, doctors, teachers, politicians et al  the same latitude?

See some citizen reports here: http://www.nigeriapolicewatch.com/category/citizen-reports/bribery/

it is appaling,the state of force in NIGERIA,i believe we can do better,even criminals are human beings.

Nahhh.

Just saying I can understand why they may resort to that.

Why chicks might be involved in prostitution. Why people steal

It can get to that point where you snap, and do what you gotta do to stay alive.

[size=16pt]Pathetic !!!!![/size] 

Of a truth, the Nigeria Police Force needs an urgent attention from the governmt.

Eeven the one dey for Mushin fine pass that one

Is this news? Not surprised at all. It's same situation in every public service sector in Nigeria. Result of top to bottom budgeting and chronic corruption. First allocate money for cars, housing allowance, office furniture etc for the "Ogas" and leftover to buy operational equipment, uniform for rank and file etc. Even the little money left will be cornered by Ogas and politicians to buy houses and cars.

Next news please

THE POLICE FORCE IS PATHETIC, VERY PATHETIC.
PLEASE FELLOW NAIRALANDERS AS U KNOW AM NEW ON THIS FORUM, CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW DO I POST A NEWS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THIS BLOG. PLS AM WAITING THANKS

Chai Ileke-IdI, you just fall my hand.

Support Jonathan - I dey craze? Me I am BB all the way. Here are some of the things I missed.

We all know the truth: Buhari will be mile ahead.
- Buhari will never go to Australia with 170 HomeJohns.
- He would have endeavour to fix all our current Power Generator and Refineries.
- Over 50% of our corrupt politicians would have taken an emergency holidays abroad
- Guilty people would have been in jail over lost money that was in their custody
- Security will be better and had MEND or Boko try anything (the will get immediate punishment).
- Subsidy will never become an issue.
- He stated N30b Economic fund to each of the 6 regions for immediate economic initiatives (not this YouWIN scam)
- Police restructuring (Federal, State and community Police - Training and more)
- Agriculture, Education, Health and other sector.

But since you guys supported a billionaire that sang "I had no Shoes"
[size=16pt]Face front and enjoy the "Fresh Air"[/size]

@Topic,Their office is way off better than their living quarters which can best be described as a gross eyesore.

The condition of the Nigeria Police force is terrible. I was in the office of the DPO of Akinpelu Police station in Oshodi and to my utter dismay, she has no system in her office, only the empty table and one 14'' TV. NA WA O FOR NIGERIA POLICE

With these shabby pictures called POLICE STATION, you should be able to adapt to any kind of environment.
