Nigeria’s former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, on Wednesday said Nigeria is grossly under-policed.
Mr. Obasanjo frowned at what he described as indiscriminate posting of police officers as orderlies and also restated the call for community policing in the country and reformation of the force.
Mr. Obasanjo stated this when the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, visited him at his residence in Abeokuta,Ogun State Capital.
He commended Mr. Arase’s regime, saying his administration had put in efforts to bring back the lost glory of the police.
In his speech, Mr. Arase said he was in the state to see his officers and inspect the level of preparations ahead of the burial of Hannah Awolowo.
The Inspector General of Police subsequently visited Governor Ibikunle Amosun, where he said the federal and state governments needed to collaborate to eliminate crimes in the country.
Mr. Arase commended the state governor for the support so far given to the police in the state.
