Adeniran, is like ur papa na police. U too love Nigerian Police Force.
this evil PDP is only pro active on election matters. Already scheming for 2015 but never having solution to any of the numerous problems challenging us as a nation. May this evil party be consumed in its own evil crafts. Let all well meaning nigerians in this forum shout amen. Amen.
Leo, is today that u start hearing about Police redeployments and deployments. U guys will always have a foolish reason to say foolish things. U are in early 2013 and are already talking of election of 2015 against PDP. What do have to say about the group of terrorists and tribalists that merged to form APC? CAN is too desperate for control of power, that’s why they agreed to merge with Boko Buhari’s CPC, irrespective of all the blood in their hand and head. I pity Annie Okonkwo and Rochas Okorocha.
So leave PDP out of police failure.
Are they police men or legal bandits.
Some pple addly understands English. They will read on thing and commen another
All those pple dat hates police i pray thier houses shd b visited wt armed robber so dat they can deferential between police and robber who is frd
If 88% are saying that Police are not our friends and that they are dangerous set of individuals. It therefore means that something is seriously wrong with Nigeria Police Force.
President Jonathan disband the police that is the only panacea to the evils that they commit in this country.
Police need our prayer and encouragement . My prayers for them is that God will give them all it takes to be good to themselves and to Nigeria, may the grace to fight corruption come upon them, Help them to be ok with the little the ve. Help them to love themselves all this I pray in name of Jesus
Pray for police.
the most dangerous set of people i ever encountered in the street of Lagos is the Nigerian police, they are corruption it self! they show you that Nigeria is corrupt from head to toe!!

The question i av fr nig citizen is that which organisation is performing excelently? Which mean smthings is wrong in this country, most of this pple that do police if they are dere the will do woste than these nd i believe what they were doing in their various offices is not helping the situation. Example is a civilian working in pension that do request for half of what they surpose to pay the decead children b4 they do what they employ for.

@Prince,please don’t be sentimental in all your comments by saying only the Hausa’s are redeployed. read the news again before you should have comment. My apology if I must have offends you in statement.
Our utmost support and prayers are needed for them to succeed in fighting crimes in the society and in Nigeria, fighting terrorism is not the right of the Police alone, it is our collective responsibility as a citizen of Nigeria to fight terrorism. That is why they say “Charity begins at home”.
i read on this forum sometime this week that presidency was planning police commissioners redeployment in making sure they put loyalist of president in charge of some states for the readiness of presidential election coming up next year 2014 only for the redeployment to be carried out 3 days after the story. Could the story then be true?
We must start holding the police accountable for their action,by fixing the judiciary system first.All of us can help
The truth is that while I do not endorse barshing this organisation, but their image has been battered over the years that an average and a law abiding citizen is afraid of the police. With such an image and self induced wounds, it will be very difficult to reposition it for a positive community based enforcements. Many nigerians have profered solutions over the years, but those in charge do not wanna hear of it. After all what do we know?, just bloody civilians.
