The last order to remove road blocks was not obeyed.
Let's wait and see.

Too early to celebrate

This SARS issue is a very funny one

Wike has been complaining about them, there were situations where they aided snatching of ballot boxes during rivers rerun but each time same people complaining now will keep talking about the MBU experience as if two wrongs has ever made anything right

E don reach una turn why u dey complain?

Good one from the IGP

igp whey worse pass sars?

If it will be obeyed

Nonsense IGP

As If the order will be obeyed

Useless order
Useless IG
As if they will obey him..
Ordinary road block he cannot dismantle...

Na today!!!.Oga IG,reorganize yourself first.

Good News that is the power of social media

Spineless IG, ordinary stop road block order, you couldn't enforce.


The whole of this police needs holistic reforms.

If it were overseas that useless IGP would have resigned.Next time you folks will still vote in a sick president.

A bigger monster would take the place of SARS.

End sars or casala go burst

Hmmmmm......... :-

Buhari Media Centre don teach this wan order! Why E no order the murderers of the REC of INEC in Kano state when he was in charge yo brought to book?

Ewu gambia.......

Everything in that country almost always have to do with "order". How about some substantiative investigation and proper conclusion of this process before ordering people around.

Let it be scrapped.

As if that will solve the problem.

That's the problem one faces when a government parastatal or an organization has no good PR office. Imagine the IGP having to talk and even indirectly accepting that the circumstance is truly out of order.
What should be done next in a normal clime is to let the PR section of the anti-robbery squad or the Police PR section, swing into action to educate the officers and enlighten the citizens on the situation at hand.
It's obvious the officers have lost direction. They need orientation. The public are scared. The people need an assurance of safety from well trained officers (PR Department). It's that simple!

hh

Op should have at least organized the content for easy comprehension.

Reorganization
They also need reorientation... They don't know their jurisdiction.. How will you stop someone and ask to search their phone without their consent

Let watch and see, maybe the same way he stop road block. Nigerian police is a cursed organization.

Initial Gragra- IG

That's a good idea by IGP, but NPF need overhauling and needs to set some basic standard.

Although, our officers of NPF are really doing a great job
