The latest directive of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) placing some restrictions on the distribution of palliatives to the less privileged in our midst is disturbing.

Even though the directive is a timely response to the series of tragedies recorded across the country recently, and the IG's honest reaction to the challenges of the prevailing economic hardship, it's open to abuse.

It is capable of discouraging citizens from helping the hungry and distressed among us.

While I understand the need for better organization and more attention to public safety, it is important to clarify that acts of goodwill should not be hindered by excessive bureaucracy.

Rather than requiring people to seek permission to assist those in need, we should encourage them to find better, more organized ways to offer such help. The focus should be on promoting coordination, not imposing barriers that could deter much-needed acts of kindness in a time of widespread hunger, pain, and anger.

This is not the time to stifle the spirit of compassion and generosity among our people. Instead, let us channel these efforts constructively, ensuring that help reaches the most vulnerable safely and efficiently.

The government must also do more to address the root causes of this hardship, providing lasting solutions rather than creating obstacles for those stepping in to fill the gaps created by government’s insensitive policies.

I urge the IGP to immediately review this directive and ensure that the police fosters collaboration and support, not division and discouragement, in our shared quest to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians. -PO

Dont carry this satanic behaviours into the new year. It would be brutal for you

BadBradley:
The Nigeria police lately seem not to understand their functions and limitations and purpose.

Requiring anyone to seek permission to distribute palliative is not within the authority or power of the police.

Go back to school IGP

Obi Go and Review your obituarists

bixton:
I guess the information the IGP is trying to pass is that seeking such permission is there by requiring the police in helping to distribute the said palliatives...
