…Say ‘we are endangered species’

…Add Police Commission can’t force officers to work

…PSC denies threatening to dismiss officers over delayed return to duty

…Pleads with officers to resume work in spirit of nationalism

By Kingsley Omonobi

Law enforcement officers in areas worst affected by the #EndSARS protests in the southern part of the country have resolved to continue to stay off their duty posts, especially during the forthcoming Christmas and New Year celebrations. Rising from a joint meeting of the law enforcement officers weekend, a Divisional Police Officer, DPO, who attended the meeting, told PRNigeria, that Nigerians should rather find a way to protect themselves from thugs, hoodlums and miscreants during the seasonal period.

According to him, the meeting which was attended by officers of the Nigerian military, security, intelligence and response agencies analysed how the violent assaults on innocent security personnel during the #EndSARS protest significantly dampened the morale of many of the servicemen and women. “In these ember months, and up to Christmas period and the New Year, I doubt if any of the security services can guarantee maximum security as usual. There is no way we can discharge our statutory responsibilities and function when we have become soft targets of miscreants and violent persons,” he said.

The DPO further said he would not allow any of his officers and men to be drafted to life-threatening beats and assignments during the period. He added: “Our destroyed facilities are yet to be reconstructed and rehabilitated; our looted armouries are yet to be restocked and when our men and women are yet to get over the humiliation of the atrocities committed on them by the same people we are charged to protect, how can we return to our duty post?” In the aftermath of the #EndSARS nationwide demonstrations, which turned violent and led to the loss of lives, including that of police personnel, the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Adamu, on Friday, directed men of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, to, henceforth, protect themselves against any attack by hoodlums. Speaking while on an on-the-spot assessment of the security situation in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Adamu said: “If anybody touches or assaults you, you can also protect yourself.” But despite the marching order given by the IGP, PRNigeria gathered from a cross-section of personnel who preferred anonymity, that they were still sceptical about returning to their duty posts, especially in volatile areas in some states.

Meanwhile, the Police Service Commission, PSC, has also stated it would not force the security personnel to return to work after the recent attack on them and their facilities. While denying a report that the commission would dismiss any police officer who failed to return to work, its spokesperson Ikechukwu Ani, said the agency had condemned the killing of security personnel on legitimate duties and had warned that any attempt to make the country lawless would be an ill-wind that would blow nobody any good. In an official statement, Ani said the commission could only plead with the officers to in the spirit of nationalism, return to work while government works out enough protective programmes for them. He said: “The commission will continue to do its best to ensure the police is motivated to do its job.
“The commission, being the employers of the Police, is pained that Policemen were killed and stations set ablaze throughout the country. ‘’It will be very insensitive at this point for anyone to say that the commission will dismiss any policeman who didn’t return to work. ‘’The commission is even at present mourning the deaths of its gallant officers who were killed in the crisis.’’

I foresee trouble and a booming rate of armed robbery in the next few months. Alot of rifles were looted from police stations. They have gotten into the wrong hands.

Secondly, there's a saying that you don't know the value of what you have until you lose it. These policemen have left Nigerians to their own fate. Same with the Lastma officials . Lagos State doesn't feel safe anymore.

Nobody is forcing anyone to do THE WORK THEY ARE PAID to do. If police work don tire some officers, no wahala. Buhari and the National Assembly should legalize guns, we would gladly protect ourselves. Make dem stop to dey use police stop work to threaten us. We know police work is important and indispensable. We need police. We value police. We want police. But if police say dey no want to work again, then Buhari should give us guns make we protect ourselves before criminals start their own madness in society.

smiley Buhari and his cohorts in government have failed miserably.

He took an oath upon assumption of office to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians.

He is no where to be found when we need him most.

He is just ghosting the nation for 8 years and disrupting our progress.

Was there any yuletide you guaranteed security in the country?
What you have ever guaranteed during yuletide is the bulging of your pockets from extorting motorists.
What this means is that this yuletide is going to be the best for drivers.
Any of you that goes into arm robbery which is what the just disbanded SARS are capable of doing, will be burnt alive once caught because boys are very hungry and angry.
Don't think you can go into stealing to create high rate of crime to prove you are important, boys will kill any of you caught.

You can't intimidate the youths again or behave anyhow.

It's not as if the police have actually been responding to emergency calls. If the police were responding to calls whenever there was a robbery incident going on, we would have been worried about them not being around to protect lives and properties.

Nigerians have always relied on God to protect their lives and properties.

You call police that there is a robbery going on and they start asking stupid and useless questions, by the time you finish answering all their questions the robbers would have finished robbing and left the scene.

When they finally finish your small #100 airtime that you just used in explaining how many robbers and their kind of guns plus the description of your street, they'll tell you that they don't have fuel in their vehicles to come to the scene.

The Nigerian police needs restructuring. #ReformThePolice

The governor's in South west should immediately activate the south west omotekun. This is an opportunity to showcase its viability . Let the South East and South South governors keep dancing "skelewu" over their own security.
