The Nigeria Police Force, Ebonyi State Command, has been accused of torturing some students who just returned from Cyprus and Norway Universities and ...

He accused the police of a hidden agenda and being economical with the truth. The petition read in part "That the manner investigation is being conducted by the Ebonyi State Police Command leaves a sour taste in the mouth. One of them, Samuel, was said to be in harrowing pain following his hand which was twisted by the police. They came down to Abakaliki with Nnaji Samuel to pick the vehicles so that they could sell it." The man is leaving no stone unturned to get at them come what may and he does not make any bones about that." It was said that the students hacked into the Vice Chancellor's account to steal to the tune of N35million and extorted money from many people under the pretext of giving them admissions, contracts and jobs.

Nigeria Decides 2023: Insecurity: Nigeria Police overwhelmed ... (Daily Sun)

By Fred Itua, Abuja. Former chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC) and the first civilian to hold the position since 1999, Mr Simon Okeke in this ...

I said it is better for the country to allow each state have its police and allow governors to control them. If the DIGs are in charge of the zones, Commissioners and the rest will report to him and the IGP will have enough time to attend to operational matters. The powers of the IGP is too enormous. I did that and wrote to the IGP to take back someone. People always say that Nigeria is under policed based on the recommendations of the United Nations that one police is to every 400 citizens. It became worse when I left to the extent that the police boss and the PSC are now in court. The IGP will always refuse to accept the authority of the chairman of PSC. Whoever becomes the IGP takes it upon himself to declare a war on the chairman of PSC. I pressed and pleaded for the welfare and take home of Police officers. When I came into office, I traveled and realised that Nigeria Police was the least paid in the world. That constitutes one of the problems of the Force today. I was able to get the six geopolitical zones to have a sense of belonging by getting the President to appoint six Deputy Inspector-Generals of Police (DIGs).

Do you think insecurity in the region has been handled well as it should? It became worse when I left to the extent that the police boss and the PSC are now in court. The IGP will always refuse to accept the authority of the chairman of PSC.
