P of police, Solomon Arase has approved the launch of a new supernumerary police uniform by Shell petroleum development company.Below is the IGP’s remarks at the launch in Portharcourt, rivers state on Monday May 2nd 2016.

I am most delighted to be in your midst today on the occasion of the launch of the new SPY Police Uniform. This is an initiative that has taken a while to come to fruition, but I am happy to see its proper implementation by today’s landmark event by Shell Petroleum Development Company.

Ladies and gentlemen, the concept of Supernumerary Police draws from Sec. 18 of the Nigeria Police Act which provides guidelines for their establishment and also grants them the powers, privileges and immunities of police officers, but as limited to area in respect of which they are appointed and in any police area adjacent thereto, but not elsewhere. In essence, therefore, SPY Police are engaged for specific security functions within a restricted jurisdiction or operational space. In addition, Sec. 18 (3) (d) of the Police Act provides that Supernumerary Police officers are subject to the Provisions of the Police Act and ‘in particular, the provision thereof relating to discipline’

It is in giving effect to these specific and other broad provisions of the Police Act in relation to the establishment, deployment, status, operation, control and discipline of Supernumerary Police, that the idea of kitting them with Police Uniforms and accoutrement evolved. Although, in so doing, unique service numbers are issued to them to effectively distinguish them from the general duty police officers and also identify the specific jurisdiction they are attached to.

Over the years, however, and with the expansion in the number of Companies and Bodies applying for the establishment of Supernumerary Police in line with provisions of Sec. 18 of Police Act, there has been a significant expansion in its manpower profile and spread nationwide. This trend presented a major challenge as unprofessional conducts by some few elements within the Supernumerary Police structure were being increasingly ascribed to the Nigeria Police Force by citizens who are apparently oblivious of the operations and statutory status of the SPY Police.

Must it be black? Can't they use cool colours like yellow, purple or blue....

So now that we know what the spy uniform looks like. How are they spies? Besides how and why does a spy need uniform

[size=18pt]Those men don't look happy at all.

it feels like a serious demotion, "now everybody for my yard go kon know say I no be original police..." na wa o[/size]


For the records, S.P.Y does not mean spy (secret investigator). NO.

It stands for: SUPERNUMERARY POLICE Y...... (Na una sabi)
So in short ehn, they are just security men policing a big compound owned by a private company.

Just like the security men we have in Federal Universities. They have no powers to carry gun or do anyhow once they reach main road o.

Do we really know where we are going in this country?

SPY Police are Supernumerary police officers not spies for espionage.

SPY police officers are those officer specifically attached (at the instance of a company) to a big company like the IOCs to help maintain Law and order within such company's operational rem.

Most IOCs, NNPC and Banks have SPY police attached to their operations.

Who them epp.
