Getting security is a universal need, but it proves challenging for people globally, including in Africa, largely due to the work attitude of security officials.

For instance, in Africa, citizens are frequently compelled to part with their hard-earned money when reporting a crime or seeking help in emergencies. This payment is often required to navigate bureaucracy or ensure a prompt response from the police.

The prevalence of systemic corruption on the continent has increased the challenges citizens face when engaging with the police. And although many African countries have laws in place to combat corruption, the enforcement of these laws often faces challenges.

A recent survey shows that negative perceptions of police professionalism and corruption go hand in hand with low public trust in the police, poor marks on government performance in reducing crime, and citizens’ sense of insecurity.

Below are 10 African countries with the highest police bribery rates:

1 Liberia 78%
2 Nigeria 75%
3 Sierra Leone 72%
4 Uganda 71%
5 Congo-Brazzaville 68%
6 Cameroon 63%
7 Burkina Faso 62%
8 Guinea 53%
9 Kenya 52%
10 Gabon 51%

This is serious. There needs to be a reform

Corruption has really eaten deep into the fabrics of our society.....from A-Z

Why isn't Nigeria ranked 1st? Something is wrong with the ranking. Must Nigeria be cheated in everything, even in this ranking? Or, did Nigeria use bribe to dodge the first position?

was just curious to know who's the first because I'm surprised Nigeria is not the first

If Nigéria can be better than a country, then I pity Liberians for what they go through in the hands of their police.
