Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

President Muhammadu Buhari says his government is determined to reform the Police and he is being briefed regularly on the unethical conduct of the Nigerian Police Force.

The President disclosed this in a statement on Friday night after a meeting with the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu over the nationwide #EndSARS protests went viral, over the brutal actions of the  Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) mainly on Nigerian youths.

Recall Nairametrics reported the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said last week that President Buhari wants to see reforms in the Nigerian Police force.

“We reviewed several of these issues. The President and I have had discussions on this, he is very concerned about it. He wants to see reforms.

“I am very concerned, in fact, very angry about what I see, happening to young men and women who are arrested, in some cases maimed or killed by men of the police force,” the Vice President said.

In today’s statement, the President says he is committed to keeping the Police accountable to the people and is updated regularly on the efforts to reform the Police.

“I met again with the IGP tonight. Our determination to reform the police should never be in doubt. I am being briefed regularly on the reform efforts ongoing to end police brutality and unethical conduct, and ensure that the Police are fully accountable to the people,” he said.

He added that the IGP has been instructed to address the issue of police brutality and investigate erring officers of the unit.

“The IG already has my firm instructions to conclusively address the concerns of Nigerians regarding these excesses, & ensure erring personnel are brought to justice. I appeal for patience & calm, even as Nigerians freely exercise their right to peacefully make their views known.

“The vast majority of men and women of the Nigeria Police Force are patriotic and committed to protecting the lives and livelihoods of Nigerians, and we will continue to support them to do their job,” the President added.

    Apply same to herdsmen and bandits brutality against innocent and armless Nigerians.

    And I hope NANS will also raise to protest against continues stay at home under the guise of COVID 19, while, markets, primaries and secondary schools are in session.
    Under the same guise of COVID 19, while the children of the rich and affluent are studying online and graduating through online institutions and improving their academic profiles, with elections and campaigns going on undeterred by COVID 19 the children of the poor in public schools are kept at home until God knows when.

    My question is, considering this senerio, are we saying that our students in tertiary institutions are so daft that they can not exercise coution or take care of themselves more than the primary school pupils, secondary school students,traders in our markets and motor parks?

    Don’t somebody think that education is loosing her place of priority in Nigeria?

    Yet after afflicting the destiny of this student in tertiary institutions through delays, age will be used to disqualify them in future when they enter the labour market. Especially that they can be kept at home endlessly without being mobilized for youth service.

    I hope no one is planning to use them as guinea pigs to experiment a vaccine,or testrun chips implants and compulsory COVID 19 free certification?
    *Please all tertiary institutions should be reopened and let there be mandatory education subsidy*
