Meager allocations from the Federal Government that has refused to
decentralize the Police is putting Nigeria police stations at the mercy
of charity from communities and dirty money from criminals.
“Unknown to us, this hotelier was engaging in commercial sexual
exploitation of juveniles in the hotel. We were shocked to learn about
this and initially it was very hard for us to take a decision due to the
support he had been rendering to the police station," said a DPO.
Temitayo Famutimi reports that for whoever wants to know why
inefficiency is the lot of the Nigeria Police, the starting point may be
to closely watch the state of things at police stations across the
country. Apart from the poor physical state of many of them, they are
largely run on charity.
