…As officers record huge success, bag UN Medals
in Sudan
South Sudan Police authorities has pleaded with
the Nigeria Police Force to urgently come to their
aid in the area of training of their own manpower
and capacity building especially as they have seen
from the performances of the Nigeria Police
contingent in the newly independent country, that
Nigeria Police officers are ‘top class’ comparable to
those in Europe and other advanced countries.
Deputy Inspector General of South Sudan , Lt.
General Gordon Micah Kur Luala who made the plea
when he received the Assistant Inspector General
of Police, Mamman Ibrahim Tsafe; representative of
Nigeria Police IGP, Mohammed Abubakar, during a
courtesy call on the South Sudan Police
headquarters in Juba, disclosed that among many
challenges facing the country’s Police force, they
were yet to be fully professionalized.
“We want to say, we are watchful and impressed
with the performance of the Nigerian Police
Contingent under UNMISS. They are well kitted,
alert at all times and command respect. We expect
a lot from nations like Nigeria who have passed
through some of the difficulties we are facing now
and have much experience like you.
AIG Mamman Tsafe with Mrs Hilda Johnson ,
SRSG for UN Mission with Nigeria Police officers.
“Already, South Sudan is rich in men and human
resources but we are lacking in many aspects.
These includes; shortcoming in the area of Legal
Affairs amongst others. Our Police need to know
more about judiciary practices as it concerns the
rule of law and its application to not only South
Sudanese citizens but foreigners as well”.
Explaining further, Gen. Kur Luala said, “a major
challenge facing us is that our Police personnel is
composed of elements who were not originally
policemen. Some of them came from the army,
some from the militia groups, and some from
remnants of the former Sudan Police Force. The
greater percentages of them are not educated or
trained.
“What we are after, which we have tried to lay
down in our policy is that we want our police
transformed. To achieve this, we want training
opportunities, a workable social welfare system in
place, a proper police structure including a CID for
investigations, a correction center, a proper civil
service and a viable intelligence branch”.
Responding to the plea, Assistant Inspector
General of Police, Zone 2, Maman Tsafe expressed
understanding with the situation the South
Sudanese has found itself noting that he was sent
to Juba by Nigeria’s IG because he (MD Abubakar)
appreciated the need to support the Sudanese in
anyway he can.
He told the Sudanese Deputy IG that his
observations about the Nigeria Police Contingent
was made possible by the IGP of Nigeria because of
his belief that a properly kitted and motivated
Policeman is already primed to face difficult
challenges and succeed. He promised to convey
other requests of the Sudanese to the Nigerian IG
for consideration.
At the office of the Deputy Special Representative
of the Secretary General, Political (D-SRSG),
Raisedon Zenenga, AIG Tsafe was told that the UN
is very appreciative of the contributions of the
Nigerian Police force to UN peacekeeping, not only
in South-Sudan, but other missions.
He pointed out that the performances of the
Nigerian Police contingents in Liberia, Congo,
Darfur, Sierra Leone, Haiti, East Timor, among
others, are well documented and a reference point
in peacekeeping.
Mr. Zenenga specifically requested AIG Tsafe to
take the message home that for South Sudan in
particular, there was need for Nigeria to help the
new country build key institutions of governance
which are presently in short supply. “These,
according to him include; teachers for schools,
organizing the judicial system, helping out in
correctional and Prisons system, Immigration, Civil
Service, and other specialized fields like tailoring,
carpentry, farming, etc.
The visit of the AIG to South Sudan Police HQ
followed the presentation of UN medals to 34
Nigerian Police Officers who made the country
proud in the performance of their duties as
mandated, with the Special Representative of the
UN Secretary General, hailing Nigeria’s
undisputable contribution to peace and orderliness
in the new independent nation.
The commendation of the SRSG came with AIG
Mamman Ibrahim Tsafe promising the UN
authorities that more dedicated and selfless
performance should be expected from Nigerian
police peacekeepers under the MD Abubakar (IG)
administration.
While congratulating the recipients for making the
nation in general and the Nigeria police proud with
the performance, AIG Tsafe said, “It shows that you
have been disciplined and hardworking officers,
that you have been worthy ambassadors of our
great nation. I am proud of you, the IG is proud of
you and I am sure the UN is proud of you.
Nigerians are proud of you.
“As for the medals you are getting today, I want
you to start wearing them right here in South
Sudan. Bring them back home at the end of your
tour of duty and wear them proudly because you
have worked for them, you have earned them and
they are yours. It is not every officer than can be
blessed with this honor and opportunity”.
At a very colorful ceremony witnessed by the Force
Commander of UNMISS, Nigeria’s Major General
Moses Obi, the UN Police Commissioner, Dr.
Fredrick Yiga and the Consul-General of Nigerian
mission in South Sudan, Dangiwa Kumba Gideon,
the SRSG said the UN was particularly impressed
with the Nigeria Police contingent because their
expertise have been brought to bear in the areas of
investigation, administration, community policing
and building capacity where the South Sudanese
Police was really lacking.
Furthermore, the SRSG expressed profound
appreciation to the Inspector General of Police of
Nigeria for deeming it fit to send a very senior
officer in the person of AIG Tsafe to witness the
medal parade noting that it showed the very high
esteem with which the Police leadership held its
personnel, attributing it to the very high standards
in return of the officers.
In his remarks, Force Commander of UNMISS,
General Moses Obi expressed satisfaction with the
performance of the Nigerian Police officers noting
that they have done very well in their roles as Staff
Officers of the various deployments, Liaison
officers, Advisers and Trainers which, he said, has
in no small measure helped to build capacity.
The UN Police Commissioner in charge of UNPOL,
Dr. Yiga noted also that the Nigerian Police
Contingent’s contribution is highly appreciated
especially against the backdrop that the team are
given very difficult assignments and deployed to
remote and difficult terrains.
