Heads may roll after Jonathan’s police college visit

Mon Jan 21, 2013 10:48 am





SHOCKING discoveries by President Goodluck Jonathan during his unscheduled visit on Friday to the Police College, Ikeja, may lead to a major shake-up in the Nigeria Police Force and the Ministry of Police Affairs, findings by The PUNCH have revealed.

A Presidency official, who spoke to one our correspondents in confidence, on Sunday, said, “The picture being painted is that of total neglect of the police training colleges, including the one in Ikeja.

“But the fact is that some money was budgeted for those colleges. How has the money been spent? There will be a probe and anybody found wanting will be sacked.”

Already, sources said top officials at the Ministry of Police Affairs, the Police Service Commission, and the office of the Inspector-General of Police have been put under scrutiny over the condition of the PCI.

It was also gathered that the DIG ‘E’ Department, Mr. Marvel Akpoyibo, who oversees training in the Nigeria Police, might be called upon to give explanations on the “unacceptable magnitude” of rot in the police training schools.

Jonathan, who could not hide his anger during the visit to the PCI en route Cote d’Ivoire for the ECOWAS Summit on Mali, said that the rot , being televised as a documentary on a Lagos-based privately-owned Channels Television, was meant to tarnish the image of his administration.

The documentary was said to have informed his unscheduled visit to the college.

“This is a calculated attempt to damage the image of this government. The Police College, Ikeja, is not the only training institution in Nigeria,” he had said.

His questions on who got Channels to film the depreciation in facilities caused by years of sustained decay were not answered by the embattled commandant of the college.

A confidant of the President said that Jonathan was of the view that those appointed to occupy sensitive positions had failed to do their jobs.

The President’s visit coincided with a wedding reception being held at the Police College.

There were fears that the police college had long deviated from the standard norms associated with a police formation .

It was learnt that the field of the Police College was being rented out to the public for ceremonies ranging from weddings, funerals and sundry social activities. The proceeds from such rentals hardly appear in the college’s books nor do they reflect in the maintenance of facilities in the school.

Also, those in charge of the PCI were alleged to place priority on such rentals at the expense of serious training programmes in the school.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the PCI, Mr. Agu Genny, however, said he did not know if money was paid to the college for renting the field as it was not under his responsibility.

“I don’t know how much or if money is paid for using the field because it is not my responsibility. That question should be directed to the officer in charge of finance or the commandant of the college”, he said.

Like the proceeds from the rentals, monies realised from billboards, including spectacular boards that are rented by advertising agencies, are not accounted for.

An officer, who declined to give his name because of the sensitivity of the scandal, said, “Look, for many years outdoor advertising agencies have always erected their spectacular billbords in our premises.

Oyinlola that was sacked as the governor of Osun state became the secretary of PDP now that court have sacked him from being the secretary. Oni another sacked governor of Ekiti state is been favoured to become the secretary of PDP. Can somebody kindly give me the full definition of PDP?

okpara ugo: If there exists 800milion tonnes of limestone in Yobe state, why hasn't Nigeria's biggest industrialist opened a cement factory in Yobe state to utilize the deposit Come to think of it, all Dangote's production factories are in the south and/or middle belt.

Northerners have made their area un-inhabitable and they cry foul.

Thank you very much, even Dangote who is from the North refused to set up any worthwhile business venture in the core north

Billyonaire: He should shut the heck up and do his job, what is he a governor for? Why is he praising himself as if the N127m is his personal funds. The monthly allocation is from Federal Government and its meant for development of the people and their communities. Thanks but no thanks to a wife who praises herself after cooking evening food for the kids after receiving money from husband.

If he refuses to spend it judiciously like many PDP governors would you hve killed or hanged him. Pls get a better understanding of what is being discussed here.

Prof Corruption: GEJ is a professional mourner for sure.

He breeds corruption, eats corruption, condones corruption, defends corruption, promotes corruption, sleeps with corruption, dines with corruption. GEJ is the father of modern day corruptocracy ruining Nigeria. He is corrupt from head to toe.

He bleeps corruption and corruption born am

[color=#000099][/color] I drive with my shoe on but just of recent I found out the hill of all my right leg shoes are bent. I looking towards another option that will not affect my shoes.

trillville: Now what gej needs to do is to fire employees at FCDA responsible for this. He is the president after all and the buck stops at his table.

Thank you but it is not easy to fire civil servants like that. Investigation will take place, civil service commission will step into it and all this bureaucratic stuffs. One thing I found out is that without civil servants its difficult for politicians to be fraudulent. So who do we blame. For somebody that is a civil servant to open his mouth and call 9b naira like a chicken money, there is problem somewhere. But my annoyance to people is that they are vexing their anger wrongly. Nothing concerns Gej on this issue and he has moved appropriately by wading into it. Let wait and see

With this thread, it is very easy for me to deduce that most of nairalanders are half baked educated people. People that will refuse to follow events and alway love to comment foolishly. These are the future leaders of this country. I keep on wondering, what is really wrong with this country?

sanusi muslim: I don't have any thing to say again but what I believe is that both Mr Gej,the senate and Mr sambo are all foolish and basterd people of nigerian. I believe if Yaradua is alife he would never tolerate this kind of corruption and selfishness people calling them self our leaders. Olori buruku ni gbogbo won. God will punished them

But it was yaradua that approved the first 7b, the problem now is that the civil servants handling the project FCDA requested for more 9b that was when alarm was raised.

onatisi: i think you are wrong in this area, the fg prepares the budgets ,the presidents present the budget to the senate and reps for debate and approval , it is after this the amended budget proposal is not sent back to the president to sign which then makes it legal , so gej must have had time to deliberate about this 16billion naira project for his vp.what must have happened was that they wold have thought that Nigerians wont react the way they are reacting

You are wrong brother on this issue, this is how it is. 7b was approved during yaradua's tenure as president for the construction of vp house, the money was budgeted for. When senate committee on Federal capital territory was performing their oversight function they found out that the project have not been completed. Smart Adeyemi asked the minister why it has not been completed the minister had to. Beckoned to the FCDA secretary and then announced another 9b will be needed to complete the project because they need to put funiture, security and other things. That was when Smart raised alarm. This is the real story I don't know what concerns Gej on this issue. But they say unesy lies the head that wears the crown.

[quote author=GARRI (x7)][s][/s]
Raw-bish. You're a f00l if you think GEJ is Ignorant[/quote]So u know everything about how Nigeria is governed, even in your local government how many things do u know there. You re one of those scoring that cheap political points. So Gej must be everywhere what is the essence of having lieutenants?

Somebody want to live in a 16b house while our roads are death trap, no security for the masses, health care delivery is zero, good food is out of the reach of the masses. When their plane starts to crash now they will say people are rejoicing in their misfortune but its God that is fighting them. He will continue to fight them untill we have leaders that will have the love of the people at heart. How. Can the people be suffering in the presence of plenty. I weep for this country

[quote author=pimp_lucious ]How silly Of President Jonathan To Go On His Knees At Redeemed Camp Again

I am watching Channels TV News@10 and the sight before me is highly disappointing!!!!!

After waving and smiling sheepishly to the crowd and delivering his score-card speech, the shoeless fool once again knelt down with all of his Presidential anointing in PUBLIC before Pastor Adeboye. VERY DISGUSTING!!!!!!

Does this man knows the implication of that singular action on the psyche of the 150M Nigerians, many of whom are muslims and men of other faith, whose sovereignty he holds for them in trust?

This man is truly very foolish and a clown[/quote
love-vendor Lucifer or what do you call your self. What is wrong for a president to kneel before God. You just hate this man unjustly. Why can't you be focused may be one day you too will become a counsellor in your ward and see how tedious and frustrating it is to rule. Wonder how far you will go in life if you continue like this. This is a whole president of Nigeria you are talking to like this. As small as GGhana is I never saw any citizen of that country talking dis respectively about their president like this. Poor you

Gbenge 77: so many grammatical blunders in your post.

U live by grammar u die by it. What has grammar got to do with the betterment of ur life, if not for personal aggradisment. Idea is need joor.

J12: Obasanjo is one of the worst political leaders we've ever had in this part of the world. He had the opportunity to drastically change Nigeria for good but he messed up seriously! Yes of course there were some positive change his government effected on the country as a whole, but they cannot be compared to the shit he put us through. He is a demon

What has ur papa done to change naija for better. U re talking about another person papa wat about ur own. Mumu. It is easy to point one finger but thr remaing four re pointing to u underneath.

Yomieluv: Am proud of the old man called Obasanjo,cos nobody in Nigeria can beat his criminal antecedents,from Operation Feed the Nation(OFN) to Obasanjo Farm Nigeria(OFN). And the 16billion he claimed he spent on turn around maintenance of our refineries.he's really someone to be proud of.

You are one of the people that is making wat was termed as a curse in yoruba land to have its hold. Why do u av to linger on the past. Many individual in this country Nigeria hav done worst more than obj but u will never see his people castigating them. I pity ur race

afam4eva: Obasanjo is the most hated Yoruba man by Yorubas and Aregbesola is speaking for himself. I hope he doesn't get some lashing from his party for going against one of the core belief of the party.

If u re a yoruba man u re a big fool and if u re not u re dabbling into what is not of ur concern. Akpeteshi

gratiaeo: The truth remains that federal govt have not done enough to address the issue of civil war, something must be corrected imagine a tribe that has millions/billions in their bank account before the civil war was compensated with 20pounds each what an insult, and you want them to forget so easily
Come to the issue of owning lagos.... We bought all the land we build on in lagos with C of O... or do U̶̲̥̅̊ want to eat your cake and have it? We are not ignorant just that the nature has made us to develop and buil wherever we reside.... Take Israel for instance they left Egypt after building and helping Egypt to become what they are today, but compare the two nation today

Were u not given c of o when u were pursued from the north. I will categorically state here that I hate people who blames others for their misdemeanour. That is exactly what ibo pple re doing. Ojukwu left the mid west and proceeded to the west through Ore and wanted to capture the west and you want a person full of wisdom to keep quiet. Go and ask your fathers Ore happened to be where we had the most severe battle that is why we av the saying o le ku ija Ore till today.

9ja voice: One may wonder why most igbos don't respond to yoruba critics of achebe war memoir.
its just because igbos are matured men that behaves as men they are.

why are the north not responding to Great Achebes book, only very few of them responds and keep quiet.

again one may wonder why almost all yorubas both home and abroad keep has responded to Achebes book,
its just because yorubas are men that behaves like women though it is genetic in them to talk loud with little to no action.
anyway if men fought women will tell the tales.

just whine Yoruba a little and they will talk till thy kingdom come.

i must state clear here that yorubas are making enemies to themself. even here online very few northerners discuss nigeria civil war talk more of mocking the igbos as yorubas does on daily bases.

Bros talk negatively about Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello if fatwa will not be placed on you. Achebe talk about a great Yoruba leader and you want yoruba to keep quiet. They fit talk about your papa and you keep quiet when you no be bastard. Oh boy clear for road

goryorhal: Hmmm dose guys no calculate am well....dem for kidnap d woman go far place wey network no go reach @ all...

Look at how shallow your reasoning is, I wonder how far you can go in life with this display of hatred and sheer ignorance. I pity your generation

oraclefemi: Nigerians and especially yorubas will never appreciate this man until he his gone, you complained about him so much , now you have Jonathan your breathe of fresh air with no balls

Gbam. A cow does not know the value of its tail until when it loses it.

klax: What a HELL is this man talking about 20year is even too short I guess 50-100 year is the right figure.

I think the North belief they are hurting somebody else not knowing they are hurting themselves badly its a sorry case. A foolish MAN will die in his foolishness thinking he is hurting anybody. The North never know anything yet this is how the rest of the country will be looking till they the North by themselve wipe themselves out of Nigeria map.

Since violent, Boko animal, religious silliness, enrmy of education and enlightment are what they want and love let them keep it up and keep their complain to their pocket and who bloody care if it takes them 100 years to recover or give a f u c k if it take 200 years to recover?

Let Abubakar, Buhari, IBB, the Emirs and their so called political godfathers keep silent and pretend as if nothing is happening AND fold their arms till they by their own hands turn their region to second Somalia so be it with all pleasure. I have no pity for the North BECAUSE any man or group or tribe that hate "PEACE will dwell in PIECES"

U re too much bro this well said and properly articulated. No they will be seeking oil money to rehabilitate them. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia they visit every year does not despise western education. Bunch of fools and morons.that why people like us is clamouring for regional government.

[b][/b]Men are like a beaten baby who finds solace in the hand of another person who pets him. The baby might not want to come back until when he is enticed. Kindly be close to your Dad speak and discuss with him you will find out some certain hidden secrets in your home.

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]Yoruba Muslims are very liberal and open-minded. So unlike the hardcore muslims up north..

On the other hand our churches are extremely materialistic, they'd not mind inviting Osama Bin Laden to church as long as he'll sow a "seed"[/quote]Love your first paragraph, I wonder the devil that entered into you on the second paragraph.

Briefing journalists on Wednesday, the Senate spokesperson, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe explained that the Terrorism Prevention Act was passed by both houses of the national assembly and signed by President Goodluck Jonathan on June 3, 2011.

According to him, the law was also amended on the 17th of October, 2012 to further expand the scope of the bill.

Senator Abaribe said the Senate was surprised by comments made by the Police boss that there was no law to prosecute arrested suspected terrorists.

The IGP, while responding to questions over the inability of the police to prosecute terrorists on Tuesday, had alleged that there were no laws in the country to prosecute them.

“The Senate is surprised that the Inspector-General of Police will say there is no anti-terrorist law” Senator Abaribe stated, adding that “in fact, I have here a copy of the Terrorism Prevention Act of 2011 signed by President Goodluck Jonathan.”

“The Act was passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives on June 1, 2011 and on June 2, 2011; it was forwarded by the Clerk to President Jonathan.

“The bill was so important to the President that he signed it into law on June 3, 2011.”

“The bill makes elaborate provisions for prosecuting persons who have committed terrorism acts.”

The Senate spokesperson further explained that there has been an amendment to the bill which was passed on October 17, 2012.

“The amendment was merely to expand the part of the provision in that bill, but everything that you need to fight the war against terrorism is already in the bill.”

“We will send a copy of this bill again to the I-G” Senator Abaribe declared as he expressed the Senate’s strong concerns saying “we find it difficult to believe that an arm of government will say we don’t have a law signed by the President.”

The Senator cautioned the police not to hold onto the claims of no laws as an excuse not to prosecute terrorists.

Why is Nigeria government and her agencies messing themselves up with a story like this. I am just thinking aloud because nothing will come out of this. Its better they keep quiet.
