The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase, has said that the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) within the last six months has lost over 435 of its men and officers.

The IGP, while speaking at a session held with members of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) and traditional rulers during his one day working visit to Osogbo, Osun State on Monday, disclosed this.

He called on traditional rulers in the state to assist police in its work. He said the space was too big for the police alone and stressed the need for community policing, emphasizing the major role being played by the traditional rulers in maintaining security of lives and property in their domain and urged them to do more in exposing criminals.



Osun State governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, receiving the IGP who paid him a courtesy visit in Osogbo, he said that the two security agencies must work together in the interest of Nigeria’s democracy.

Aslo, the governor suggested solutions to some of the security challenges facing the country. He, however, demanded for more efficient collaborations between the NPF and the Department of the State Services, (DSS).

Aregbesola also called on the IGP to provide an additional six Area Commands of police in the state to make nine Police Area Commands, stressing that the synergy was needed by the agencies for them to be able to effectively penetrate the ranks of the insurgents and kidnappers and bring their activities to a halt.

The IGP, in his remarks, commended the governor for providing police in the state with equipment that will make them discharge their duties effectively and efficiently to observe law and order.

Shocking!!

Going by some of the comments here, I can clearly sense the "serves them right" sentiment. In as much as we've probably all had our not too savoury run-ins with the men in black (I have!), I don't think this shocking figure anything to gloat about. These are young men with families. . .

435 in just months?? That's almost 3 per day!! When we're not at war?!

Are you Nigerian at all. Nigerian police are enemies of the people.
