Nigeria Police full of armed robbers – AIG Assistant Inspector General, AIG of Police, Zone 6 Command, Mr. Jonathan Johnson has lashed the Nigeria Police Force, stating that the “Force is full of armed robbers, extortionists and other criminal elements that are unethical.” Johnson said these unethical and criminal activities often lead to untimely death of policemen on duty. He also acknowledged soaring corruption in the Criminal Investigation Department, CID of the Police Force. He made these statements during his visit to Akwa Ibom State Police Command in Uyo last Tuesday. The AIG lamented; “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,” he said. The AIG however, warned police officers who engage in criminal acts that when caught, they would be dismissed. “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 warned.” He also alleged that police officers sell ammunitions to criminals, aide and abate crimes as well as manipulate cases by conniving with suspects and conspiring with criminals. Johnson also alleged that police officers supply hoodlums with information which aide them in killing policemen. He revealed that it was a policeman that gave information to a community in Nasarawa State, Alakyo community which led to the 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 will be sanctioned. “The police officers turn themselves to security guards for individuals and corporate organisations without anyone assigning them. They also go on illegal duty for the purpose of extorting money from drivers and motorists.” The AIG stated that the police officers would not want to pay for the houses they lived, concluding that all mentioned attributes work against the police, as the public no longer has respect for the police force. He said, “We have turned tyrannical to the public that is why we receive condemnation everywhere we go.” nigerianpilot/nigeria-police-full-of-armed-robbers-aig/
