Police officers from the southern part of the country have protested their transfer to what they called, Boko Haram states, especially, Borno and Bauchi. Already, 84 of them, including a female officer who is nursing a baby and whose husband lives in Lagos, have been transferred to Borno. Daily Sun gathered exclusively that the list for Bauchi is being compiled.

The development has created tension, disaffection among police officers, as there are plans to also transfer senior police officers from the same part of the country and are currently living in quarters belonging to the Police College, to the two volatile states.

Daily Sun checks also revealed that those affected by the transfer were police officers from the Lagos State Command living in the Police College compound, inside and outside Police College compound but under the Lagos State command, attached to the airport, seaport, air wing, Force Headquarters Annex, Obalende, Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), those in the Mobile Police Unit, printing press at Zone 2, Onikan and bomb disposal unit.

Some of the officers, who confirmed the transfer to Daily Sun alleged that the Commandant of the Police College, Lagos, Abdullahi Magaji, a commissioner of police, might have used his relationship with the Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, to hurriedly eject the policemen as efforts to eject them in the past failed.

Some of the officers who spoke to Daily Sun on the condition of anonymity, wondered why they should be punished by sending them to the Boko Haram states, because they live in quarters owned by the Police College.
“Is it an offence to live in quarters belonging to the Police College? Is it not the same Nigeria police? Why are we being punished? Some of us have been allocated houses outside but we couldn’t move because people are still living in those houses. Are we going to force them out?”

The senior police officers, who said it was usually the responsibility of the Police Service Commission (PSC) to transfer them, appealed to the commission to intervene. They also appealed to the state Commissioner, Yakubu Alkali to wade into the matter.
“We don’t deserve this. This is punishment. What offence did we commit? They want to use our transfer to Boko Haram states as a method of ejecting us and for us to be killed there. We don’t understand Hausa language.”
The letter used in communicating the transfer of the 84 officers is dated August 10, 2011, with reference number CH:5350/WEL.FHQABJ/T/17.

The letter, which was supposed to be signed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police in-charge of ‘A’ Department, Mr. Azubuko Udah, was signed on his behalf and Ringim, by K.C. Katso, a police commissioner attached to Welfare Department before he (Udah) could come back from overseas trip.

Alj haram should join Nigerian police so that he can go and defend his boko haram state

Will they complain when they post them to sudan or somalia?

That is to tell you that they are not really protesting because there are afraid of boko haram - they want the transfer to be a peace keeping mission with insentive - dollars of course!

this whole federal police thing sef na wah. let each state have their own security force. i tell u a lot of things need to be re-examined in this Nigeria. i think we need to buy papa Jona an African parrot for his bedroom so that whenever Jona wakes up, the parrot will just shout "SNC! Jona! SNC!"

Nigeria has a police force?
really? !

I have to go look up the definition of : police

Kai, so u hate Alhaji this much?

Naija police, we know una ways!!!
Wetin you carry men?
Time to check what the GboHarams are carrying. Man up pls!
LOL

Give me one of this : and ill wipeout the whole north in a day!  

Just joking

I am beginning to wonder what is wrong with this country,i just don`t understand the correlation between redeployment and the housing issue or why should a law enforcement officer reject his/her posting to another part of the country be it volatile or not. Please those that feel aggrieved should resign from the police force. "Nation of Idiots ruled by fools".

They know Nigeria will divide very soon and they don't want to be caught unaware in foreign land so that their corpse will not be traded for alimajiri corpse in the event of mass killing of almajiris in the south.
Nigeria has damaged beyond repair, there is nothing any one can do about Nigeria. This is just the beginning. If those who are with the guns are afraid then what about civil servant. NNPC workers of norther origin will soon reject posting to the south by the time we start killing them here. I dey laugh oooo. Nigeria is gradually disintegrating. Time for state police, let Boko Haram kill their own people. Let our people live in peace here doing their police work, or is it a plan by the north to reduce our people in the force through senseless killing by the same Boko guys that they have invested over 2billion of our oil money stolen in the past to sponsor.
Where do you start the repair from? Kill all the emirs and sultan who have been aiding and abbe ting the BK guys?
Kill over 70% of northerners who are supporting BK guys?
Can we ever allow a core northern muslim to rule this country again consildering wikileak report that has indicted them during Yaradual regim?
If we don't allow them to rule, how will they recover the money they have invested into Boko Haram?
Time for the north to get the Igbo experience or beg for the division of this country. No Igbo man has rule this country for about 40years now, this is the turn of the north

If u wish 4 a better security in Naija pay the police well, the minimum salary for a police officer should be @ least 100k or even 200k naira.

If dey are paid well dey will not hand guns over to the criminals, they will work extremely hard to protect the society. dey will not collect egunje.

Is Naija worth dieing for @ the moment? No!!!!!! Invest money in the police force and u will get a better service.

Stop paying tithe to ur churches, pay ur tax to the government. Amen.

you don,t know the fundamental issues. the isssue on ground is that those who are behind boko haram are top security officers from the North.This is an open secret. Believe it or not the police and any other security agents are ready to do their jobs without fear or favour, but where there's failure, then there must a misleading order from above to divert the attentions of the operatives in the name of obey before complain. Where there is diversion of attention it results to the loss of lives of the men, but where the boss is out to do his job faithfully, then the boys under him will record success. Some politicians categorically made their statements clear that if they didn't win election they will make this country ungovernable' the top security officials are aware of this, what steps have they taken?. Boko harams are destroying people massively ' while some top security officials are busy pretending to send their subordinates to investigate, all aimed at diverting their attention. These transferees know the secret that sending them to Borno and Bauchi states will not solve the problem, that is why they are protesting. If they decide to go, by the time they face boko haram and kill them as they have been killing Nigerians, that is when with the influence the boko haram sponsors trouble come on the man who is fighting crime in the society of ours. What happened to those police officers at Borno who killed a boko haram member?. The officers have since been suspended from their jobs and have been taken to court for the offence of murder. So you can conclude other things. ,,

A United States Government cable released by Wikileaks has exposed a deal that helped terrorism suspects of Northern origin to escape trial and prison after arrest.

The cable with reference id: #08ABUJA538 was sent to the US State Department by a former US Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. Robin Rene Sanders, on March 20, 2008.

The cable reveals that the State Security Service and the Northern traditional system reached an understanding for the secretive release and non-trial of terrorism suspects from the region. The deal provided that terrorism suspects from the region would be released to a carefully selected group of traditional rulers and Imams shortly after their arrest.

Our correspondent reports that nearly all of the terrorism suspects arrested in the North belong to the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram.

Sanders wrote that that the deal was part of a SSS program called “Perception Management,” which aimed to reform terrorism suspects and promote the notion that religious extremists in the region had no foreign affiliations. Among other conditions, terrorism suspects who benefitted from the programme agreed to submit to routine monitoring by the SSS, report regularly to the SSS and abandon extremism.

The cable says the SSS programme was “aimed at de-radicalising and reforming Muslims, who have espoused or otherwise participated in extremist-precipitate-terrorist activities. Under this plan, individuals are released from police or SSS custody and entrusted to “sureties,” most of whom are imams or respected traditional leaders in the North.

“In late January, the Sultan of Sokoto (Nigeria’s preeminent traditional ruler and communal leader of Nigeria’s 70 million Muslims) told PolOff (political officer) (that) the Sultanate in concert with the 13 emirates of the North is “quietly” working to leverage influence on the region’s Islamic leadership to combat rising extremism and radicalisation of Muslim youth.

“A member of the Sultan’s inner circle told PolOff the SSS Director (General) reportedly gave the Sultan his assurance that the SSS would not legally pursue the suspects if the North agreed to take custody of them and “reform their ways.”

The cable says that in some cases suspects were released despite been caught with explosives, arms and ammunition, or linked to the al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. It says 12 suspects arrested and detained by the SSS in October 2007 for allegedly plotting terrorist attacks were released at different times in January and February 2008. Another US government cable says some of the suspects were later implicated in bombings and attacks claimed by Boko Haram.

The cable says despite what an SSS agent described to an American official as “overwhelming” and “undeniable” evidence, at least one suspect arraigned in court was cleverly left off by the SSS who did not provide evidence that could nail him.

The SSS, according to the former US ambassador, claimed the suspect’s release was facilitated because his health had failed. But Sanders countered that the suspect “did not appear to PolOff in ill health, but rather in good spirits and fully coherent.” The cable claims that the SSS went to a great length to ensure that terrorism suspects from the North did not end up in jail. Some of the desperate actions taken by the SSS included persuading Imams to take the suspects under their wings.

The cable says, “The PolOff (political officer) spoke January 21, and again March 16, with Kaduna- and Kano-based imams, who had been contacted by the SSS and entreated to serve as “sureties” for the 12 individuals noted above.”

However, Sanders noted that while the SSS pushed on with the plan, some of the imams “contended that the so-called de-radicalisation efforts of the SSS were not only ill-conceived, but also ineffective, counter-productive, and unimpressive.”

The cable claimed that Nigerian leaders and the Northern establishment in particular didn’t want terrorism to be associated with the country or the region.

“The release of the 12 individuals suspected of AQIM links and to planning terrorist attacks in Nigeria may be connected to overtures made by the SSS to northern traditional and Islamic leaders. While several imams have been reticent to concede that extremism (or terrorism) may obtain in the North, several others have told PolOff that they (and not the Government of Nigeria) are far more capable of dealing with extremism, contending that the matter must be dealt with internally, given local sensitivities and customs.

“In addition, the Sultan’s many public statements, remarking that al-Qaeda and terrorists do not exist in the North, may concern the North’s desire to protect its image. In any case, the Sultan has no special access to information to determine if terrorists indeed have inflitrated the country or not, or whether individuals are being actively recruited for terrorist activities. All the while, it remains important to note that while terrorism represents a salient issue for the USG, neither the GON nor the Islamic leaders we have talked with necessarily give it as much prominence as we would like or expect.”

i think when you accuse some one with wrong doing especialy on national security matters you must be damn sure you have a good and reasoning proof and evidence not fact, can you please name 10 top army or police comanding officers in maiduguri and bauchi those who are of full hausa fulani musilim origin? I hope you know that the active top army comander in maiduguri is a chiristan from the south. What i want you to understand is that those police officers swore that they will serve in any state within nigeria to mentain law and order even if it will cost them there lives, so if they are truely good police officers let them prove there self by going to those state and use there inteligent to find out who among the northern top senior officers are behind BH guys instead of saying rubbish in the media.i though they are those who are saying "WE WILL PROTECT UR LIVES AND PROFERTY" now its the time to prove it.e there inteligent to find out who among the northern top senior officers are behind BH guys instead of saying rubbish in the media.i though they are those who are saying "WE WILL PROTECT UR LIVES AND PROFERTY" now its the time to prove it.[color=#990000][/color]

Nigerian Police you took an oath to protect and serve the Nigerian Citizens stop whining or resign.
