Why police patrol vans look dirty, scattered — Police PRO

Nigerian Police Force Spokesperson, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has explained why patrol vans used by police officers are usually dirty and scattered.

This explanation came as a response to a Twitter user who asked why the Hilux used by police officers are always scattered.

According to Adejobi, the number of hours the vans spend on the road for patrol, as they are always being used, is responsible for the state of the vehicles.

The Twitter user that goes by dat_Afikpo boi @sparoswagg in response to a photo tweet by Adejobi on new operational trucks, water canons, and Armoured Personnel Carriers, APCs, shared to commands and formations in preparation for the 2023 General Elections wrote: “Abeg wetin dey always skata the hilux wey dem dey give una?”


Adejobi in response tweeted: ”See, police patrol vans work 24 hrs. When u park ur car in the evening, that’s when another team on night duty will take over the same vehicle for night patrol. Operational vehicles can’t be that neat like private vehicles. Anything operational looks rugged.

“So, the rigour these vehicles pass thru make them look rough and dirty. Many of them ply bad roads, etc. However, we always encourage DPOs and HODs to try and put them in good shape.”

Lame excuse!

Poor maintenance culture.... No need for too much grammar oga officer.

Cover up
Don't police in other countries operate for 24 hours?
It's a mind set thing, they don't care.
After all it's tax payers money
It's part of the reform we talking about.
The mentality needs to change, proper handling and maintainance of police cars
Road Safety and other forces cars are always clean.

As if they run places than public/commercial transporters

Our roads are simply bad.

Tell politicians to fix our roads and watch muddy stains go.

If he isn't a police officer,he wouldn't be saying this

Who don dirty, don dirty, nor blame Nigeria roads.

Poor maintenance culture

I wished the Nigerian police used white
It would reveal how dirty dey are

Stupid coverup by the police PRO

Its just like saying why is one's lungs damage and you say its because you breathe 24hour
When u neglect the fact that you take in substances that would damage the lungs.

Same thing with the motor, reckless driving, poor maintenace, the na federal govt property no be my own mentality

Because it's being driven by animals not human beings

They hardly wash eir uniform not to talk about eir van

You don't know what you are saying.
Police vehicle are on the road 247. Morning team hand over to night team. Which public transport does that?

Oga stop making excuses for irresponsibility. The police simply don't care about the well-being of their operational vehicles. They lack maintainance culture.
Have you seen an average police man's uniform? Have you seen the way they dress? Have you seen the way most of them talk? They dont care about themselves talk more of the vehicles
Call a spade a spade please!

You'll never see all those very beautiful, brand-new vehicles the governors 'donate' to their state police commands on the road. The commissioner sells 90% of them and shares proceeds amongst themselves.
