President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Sunday Arase, to prune down the number of policemen attached to dignitaries, declaring that all policemen withdrawn from that role be redeployed to regular police duties.
The President also issued a stern warning to the IGP and the Police Service Commission, PSC that he would not tolerate extortion of money from unemployed Nigerians in the forth-coming Police recruitment. The President who noted the practice as an emerging culture said that it was totally unacceptable to him.
“You must ensure that the recruitment process is transparent. Those who will conduct the recruitment must be above board. It should not be heard that they receive gratification or extort money from those who want to enlist in the police,” he cautioned during a meeting with officials of the Ministry of Police Affairs and the Police Service Commission in the Presidential Villa.
