Why The Nigerian Police Is The Way It Is – By Ese Wilfred

Don’t expect good behaviors from the police. It is the way government design it to be. Obansanjo sold police welfare to himself and determine to make the policemen lives unbearable.

In the year 2003 Obasanjo wanted to replace the Nigerian police with another security agency thus he created NSCDC by Act 3 of 2003. But the world police alliance stopped him. He made police pension policy that every policeman must contribute to his pension from their peanut as salaries. Where is that done anywhere in the world?

The least in rank in the Nigerian police earn #45,000 and he want to plan his future and survive in his present also take care of his dependants.

Thus he become a criminal in uniform.The government trained a man to bear arm, gave him uniform with four pockets yet make a him a Hustler and to police the people. What do you expect.

Don’t expect Nigerian police to do wonder under this system. They are humans with wishes to be happy in service and after retirement. They want to own a house and car of their own. They want to survive with their families and train their children. They protect the rich and see how life is enjoyed, they want to enjoy too.

Is not a crime to be a police officer in Nigeria. The Nigerian Police must be removed from this slavery pension policy introduced by Obasanjo to punish the police forever because of personal beffin.

A policeman is related one way or the other to everyone of us. My dad is one. Any decisions or policy created by government has a direct effect on me.

I stand strong to say no to contributing police pension scheme which other security agencies like the DSS never included.

The Nigerian Military is never part of it. If it was a national policy about pension of the security agencies why is it restricted to the police alone?

The government is determined to make the police the way it is. The SARS WILL NOT END if the police remain the way it is structured by the Obasanjo and the government.

The internal corruption in the police is another virus that eaten deep the flesh of the officers.

All resulted from the struggle of retirement because there is no retirement plan for them.

As the senior officers eat the flesh of the junior officers, so the junior officers who are the field workers eat deep the flesh of the people or public.

Please share this as much as you can to make a loud voice. Don’t say is not your bussiness. If you want a better Nigeria you must talk about the security agencies. This aspect is paramount.
