The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Solomon Arase, has said Nigerians are ungrateful to the Police and advised to stop complaining about the inadequate personnel in the Nigeria Police.

He said this during a meeting which held at the Area Command, on Friday in Minna, Niger State, Nigeria.

He argued that if it was possible to make every Nigerian a policeman, there would still be crime in the larger society.

“The issue of manpower in the Nigeria Police, even if you can make everybody to be a policeman, there must be a crime.

“So manpower issue is not our own concerns at our level. The main concern is to have the Police do the work very well”, said the Police Boss.

The IGP was represented by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) of the Minna Metropolitan Areas, Mr Kabir Gwarso, who also said that the stakeholders’ meeting was in line with the recent directive of the IGP.

The IGP had directed that stakeholders’ meetings should be held at the states’ Police Command; Area Commanders’ level and at the level of Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) across the country.

This is in view of the current crime situation all over the country, particularly armed robbery, cattle rustlings, herdsmen and farmers’ clashes, kidnappings among others.

ACP Gwarso added that one of the problems the Police have been facing is that people at the grassroots refuse to give information to them about crimes and criminal activities within their domain.

“Our believe is that people can do more than the way they are doing it now because with the people we can do it better than the way we are doing it now.

“Personnel of the Nigeria Police Force are becoming more educated and enlightened and besides, without this information by the stakeholders we can’t work successfully.

“And if you as Police officers and men, are exposing anybody who gives you information, the next time, nobody within that community would be willing to come and give you information again,” he said.

He promised that if given more information, the Police would work better on it and would achieve greater success in preventing crimes and protecting lives and property in their respective communities.
