IGP Ibrahim Idris: 'Social Media Is A Technology For The Criminally Minded' by IsaAbubakar(op): 6:47am On Jul 21, 2018

The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, may have stirred another controversy after saying social media “is a technology for the criminally minded”.

Idris said this while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after attending a function in Abuja on Friday.

The Police boss was asked what the Force is currently doing about restructuring the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) as more Nigerians are calling for the end of police unit.

Responding, Idris who expressed dismay at the question, said: “You see, you ahave to be careful about this clamouring.

“Social media is a technology available to those that are criminally minded and we have to be careful on how we respond to this clamouring as you are saying.

“SARS is a unit of the police that I believe should be sustained, what we are doing is to ensure that they are properly trained, and wwe are providing facilities for them that will make work easy for them.

“But I have to tell you that they are doing a very wonderful job.”

He actually meant to say that a lot of criminally minded people are on social media and could be using it to clamour for the shutting down of SARs ..

With this mindset and the level of exposure of the current occupants of the highest office in the land, how do you expect there to be any form of progress?

Reason why SARS under his incompetent watch would cock their guns at the sight of an iPhone like they have seen a lethal weapon.

This sums up why this country is in it's current state, and why we can never grow as a nation unless this 1960s leaders understand we are no more in 1960.
