Police Security Detail Of Governors Reduced To 62 From 150 by watchdognewsnet: 3:04pm On Aug 31, 2015
In an effort to cut down the number of Police men attached to VIP’s, the Nigeria Police has reduced the number of security detail attached to Governors.

This is as a result of the reorganisation, as well as functions of police officers and men, which has led to police security attached to the governors being reduced to a maximum of 62 men – which is a unit – from the 150 policemen which some governors used to have to secure them.
Disclosing this in Lagos over the weekend, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Solomon Arase expressed worries that too many of their officers and men were doing jobs other than their core police duties, yet they were being promoted.

“When these people now have to be deployed from these special assignments back to their core duties, they may have lost touch,” he said.

He explained that this necessitated the decision to withdrawal security from unauthorised persons who use police orderlies for personal aggrandisement rather than as a result of a real threat to their lives. Such people, he said, should find other ways to secure themselves.

Arase further disclosed that deployment of policemen for guard duties had ensured that out of the about 305, 000 policemen engaged by the government, only about 150,000 were available for core duties.

He added that 40,000 policemen across ranks were due to attend promotion courses which he would ensure as soon as funding is available.
