In a recent visit the Inspector General of Police
(IGP), Solomon Arase, paid to the former president of Nigeria, Olusegun
Obasanjo, at his residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, the
ex-president used the opportunity to say that Nigeria is grossly
under-policed.
The visit, according to Arase, was made at the point when Arase was in the state to see his officers and inspect the level of preparations during the burial of Hannah Awolowo.
In a report by Premium Times, the former President Obasanjo was said to have frowned at what he described as indiscriminate posting of police officers as orderlies.
Commending Arase’s regime, Obasanjo said that his administration had put in efforts to bring back the lost glory of the police.
Obasanjo reiterated the call for community policing in the country and reformation of the force.
The police boss also went further to visit the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun.

Meanwhile, Joseph Mbu, the recently appointed commandant of the Police Staff College, has explained why the federal government was urged to set up a special committee to visit police formations in Nigeria.
The former police commissioner of Rivers state made a disclosure on Sunday, November 22, when he spoke to NAN in Jos.
In another development, Abdurrahmah Abubakar Isa, a lawmaker from Adamawa state alleged that he was almost kidnapped by the suspected agents of the state government for daring to oppose to the diversion of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s bailout fund which meant for the settlement of salary arrears.
