Nigerians Have No Confidence In Police – Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday said the high level of indiscipline and unmerited promotion to certain ranks in the police had made many Nigerians to lose confidence in the force.

Jonathan said this in Abuja while inaugurating the Police Service Commission, PSC, headed by former Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro.

Other PSC members are Alhaji Mohammed Yakubu, Justice Olufunmilola Oyinlola Adekeye, Hajia Aisha Larai Tukur, Mrs. Comfort Obi and Dr. Tony Ayim.

According to the President, though the police are recognised and highly praised for outstanding performance when they are on international assignments, it is unfortunate that they cannot maintain proper discipline and even perform better when discharging their duties at home.

He said: “You will agree with me that Nigerians don’t have so much confidence in the Nigeria Police but Nigeria Police are good.
