A social media post detailing how the Nigeria Police Force can be reformed is creating waves in security circles, but disquiet among officers and men of the Force, who, it was learnt, are discreetly investigating its source.

“It is not clear if it was indeed written by a person of lower rank, as he claims; or by a senior officer desirous of changes in the rot that has crippled the Force and made it a but of jokes and disdain among most Nigerians,” a source said.

Recall that the rot in the Force led to the #EndSARS protests that have spiralled out of control, and led to over 69 deaths, massive looting, and rocking of the ethnic fault lines in the country.

The post reads in full:

I whole hearted give my senior officers compliment, “MORNING SIRS!”

My heart had been disgusting for the past decades I have been recruited into NIGERIA POLICE FORCE (NPF). It’s disheartening that many of the corrupt acts carried out by we RANK & FILES, INSPECTORS, P&Gs, DEPARTMENTAL OCs, SOTs, SOs, ADMINISTRATIVE AOs, all in the name of “RETURN” (daily paid return, weekly paid return, monthly paid return, CP’s return, AIG’s return, IGP’s return; has not given the NIGERIA POLICE FORCE to discharge there full policing duty at divisional offices (POLICE STATIONS) and commands..
