The Assistant Inspector-General of a Police, Zone 6 Command, Mr. Jonathan Johnson, has said many Nigerian police officers lose their lives daily because of their involvement in illegal activities. Johnson said this during his visit to Akwa Ibom State Police Command in Uyo on Tuesday. He said, "If you investigate our men, you will discover they are armed robbers. They are not contented with what they have. "We go to the road to extort money from people, engage in illegal business, and liaise with armed robbers." The AIG warned that if any police officer was caught in any criminal acts, they would be dismissed. The AIG said, "No criminal has lived in his criminality and has never been caught. "If you want to live in palava, you will die in palava." He alleged that police officers sold ammunition to criminals, aiding and abetting, manipulating cases, conniving with suspects and conspired with criminals. He said corruption was rampant in the Criminal Investigation Department of the Police Force. Johnson alleged that police officers supplied information to hoodlums, which aided the criminals to be able to kill policemen. He revealed that it was a policeman that gave information to a community in Nasarawa State, which led to the hoodlums killing over 60 policemen. He stated that police officers also became security guards for individuals and corporate bodies without any authority assigning them to the beat. "The police officers turn themselves to security guards for individuals and corporate organisations without any one assigning them. "They also go on illegal duty for the purpose of extorting money from drivers and motorists," he said. He stated that the police officers would not want to pay for the houses they lived. Johnson stated that these attributes had worked against the police as the public no longer had respect for the police. He said, "We have turned tyrannical to the public, that is why we receive condemnation everywhere we go."
