Police need to change in order to restore public perspective and trust.
TVC News Nigeria gives us a report on a policing workshop in Lagos.
Nigerian police officers are in dire need of better training and resources. The current system is rife with corruption and abuse, which has led to a decline in public trust. Nigerian citizens are often reluctant to report crime, due to fear of retaliation from the police. This is a vicious cycle that must be broken in order for the country to move forward. Nigerian police officers need to be better trained in order to effectively protect and serve the public. They also need to be provided with better resources, so that they can do their jobs properly. The current system is clearly not working, and something needs to be done to change it. Nigerian citizens deserve to feel safe, and the police need to be held accountable for their actions.

Nigeria police needs total restructuring,you just can’t fathom what their problems are the structures has been so bastardize a lot need to be done to out policing in the right place
Totally true! The Nigerian police reeks of disgust. They commit more crimes than alleged criminals. Hopefully there’d be a genuine revamp this time. The revamp has all been a lie so far. No doubt, they need funding too. All those rusted relatively impotent ammunition should be changed. An upgraded arsenal to match or compete with potential criminal’s.
The police need better training and good resources to perform their duty and also they need to change their way people don’t respect them again because of this their corrupt and bribe stuff they are doing, they are not respect talkless of report crime to them, if they respect their self people will respect them and fear them and people will do their duties as a citizen and report crime and so on. They need to restructure their system and adopt punishment rule for those caught in illegal or shameful act it will serve as example to other and they won’t be able to bend rules.
Nigeria police are totally corrupted which is why people loose trust in them and fear to report crime to them as they will end up freeing the criminal after obtaining bribe from them and this has make some people to take law into there hands atimes which in turn increase criminal and violence acts, Nigeria police needs to do better.
The problem we are confronted with as regards to police evolving in Nigeria is beyond the police.Change the system of government and let the judgement on corruption be tougher. Pamper no president or any government officials and see if there will not be changes.
I welcome this idea. The Nigeria police force needs to be reformed. Kme things need to change. That have to evolve in their strategy and security consciousness and apparatus. With this in place, it will help to boost our security against crime and criminality in the country.
The acts of corruption and negligence common among the polices needs to be eradicate to make people feel safe. The whole police department needs to be fully restructure to gain people’s trust and corporation.
Imagine a police men harassing Nigerian youths for looking nice!!! All this have to stop because Nigerians are loosing their trust in this police men
These set of police officers we have now are the most corrupt people I’ve ever seen; they collect bribes at every given opportunity
Our policemen needs to be provided with more funds and salaries so that they won’t be tempted to receive bribes
We encounter so many issues regarding these policemen, from lack of modern equipment to lack of resources; the government should equip them with current resources so they’ll carry out their jobs efficiently.
The police need to be retrained afresh considering their poor records toward the security of this country.
The Nigeria police need to be reshuffled because citizens no longer have trust in them anymore. They need to re-strategize and come up with plans to convince the people they are worthy of securing their lives. for example, concerning bribery and corruption they need to include fines and penalties for those caught in illegal or shameful acts, it will serve as example to other and they won’t be able to bend rules. Also, they need reinforcement so they can carry out their jobs as expected…
The current officers that are employed are not even physically for enough to protect anyone from Danger; some of them are fat with large tummies, lol
You really can’t understand what their difficulties are; the structures have been so watered down; there is a great deal of work that needs to be done to get policing in the correct position. The Nigerian police force needs a complete restructuring.
The government needs to do another orientation for these policemen because corruption has eaten deep into a lot of them.
It’s only in Nigeria that people will be scared of reporting cases to the police because of the extortion that they’ll face at the station. This is awful.
People in Nigeria have lost trust in the police because they are inherently crooked. The Nigerian police need to improve their practices because the way they are going is terrible
When we see police officers in this country, they look like thieves because of the attributes they possess, like red eyes, and they are always angry.
They need to gather them together and show them how foreign countries operate in their police departments and try to emulate them.
These our police people need co plate deformation because most don’t even know the law at all; why will you stop someone and be going through their phone? It isn’t right at all, there are so many wrongdoings that these policemen commit, and they deserve to be punished for them.
In fact, they really need to be retrained, their mode of operations is odd.
This is a good move, but are they going to abide by it in the long run?
This is Nigeria, they can finish the training and still be doing things the old ways, a rules need to be set in order to keep them in control
Nigeria police really need to evolve like why would our police be fat and not fitted for the jobs they are given to protect human life
The level of corruption in the Nigeria police force is very alarming and no matter what government is doing to make a change will never make any difference,the orientation need to change and also better payment system is very important and anyone of them that does not do the right thing among them should be purnish according with this citizen perspection will change
You’re talking about the police evolving in Nigeria? It will only take the grace of God to be able to achieve that without tackling corruption in Nigeria system.The level of corruption in the police is very deep.
Nigeria police really need to evolve
