THERE are strong indications that the police hierarchy will soon embark on mass transfer of policemen across the country.

The Inspector-General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, who gave the indication on Wednesday while briefing Assistant Inspectors General (AIGs) and Commissioners of Police (CPs) during his maiden meeting with them, announced that officers and men should be ready for transfers at short notices, while promotion courses would continue to run compulsorily for designated ranks.

He warned that there was now a policy in the Force to retire compulsorily any police officer who failed prescribed promotion exams, after two attempts, as this was to ensure that ranks were worn by those who really deserved them.

He disclosed that the force had already started overhauling and downsizing the police mobile force for optional professionalism and efficiency.

I'm really beginning to admire this Ringim guy.
He seems to be the one that can carry out the police reforms Jonathan promised.
The dude comes across as disciplined, no nonsense and tough.

Hot blood,

36Governor:

That's how they all start. Even Tafa too. Lets see how far he goes. Wish him well though

initial gra-gra

Applying a test on law, processes and human rights to the street-level police officers is equally as poignant, not just to only designated officers.

What I think they should do is FEDERALIZE the police force. I mean the current police force is much too large to work properly, and, as such, we need a decentralized police force in our nation. I mean we are a federal republic, right?

What difference will it make ?

It is a good development in the NPF, But he should start with the commissioners and it should be before political parties' primaries

@ mshitu, i don't reall buy this idea of state police force. The federal police in most states in nigeria is a political weapon against the opposition, so if there is a state police that is accountable to the state what do think will happen?
