All is definitely not well within
the province of the Nigerian Police as the new boss, Suleiman Abba who has just
been confirmed as the substantive head honcho of the NPF might not be finding
things easy as you read this.
Though, the level of corruption
at the Nigerian Police Force is said to have no rival as none of its successive
administrations from inception, right from the Alhaji Ibrahim Coomasie days
would go scot-free of any probe panel.
The very latest of the scandal
rocking the Nigerian Police Force right now is the issue of the secret MEMO
which is presently generating controversy amongst superior police officers and
we gathered the new IG, Suleiman Abba has been jittery over what the outcome
might be if the said MEMO is released to the circulation.
According to inside sources, some
greedy and insatiable high ranking Police officers are said to have lobbied the
Aso Rock Lord or maybe someone that has the president’s ears on the need to
raise the bar in the leadership of the Mobile Police Squadrons which comprises
of 57 Commanders-the anti riot section of the Police.
This office gathered reliably
that Mobile Police is one of the lucrative sections of the Police force in this
country and the officer who usually steers the helm of its affairs are Squadron
Leader, someone in the rank of Superintendent of Police-SP (1 Eagle Supol).
But the signal coming out
exclusively from the office of the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba has
it that, some greedy SUPOL who have tasted sweetness of the pudding have
advised the Police authority to start installing high ranking officers from the
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) post to head the Mobile Squadron and
what this means in essence is that, by the time they start doing these
postings, it will favour none of the young officers (SPs) but they who had
served as Squadron Leaders when they were SPs thereby bringing them back as
fresh Squadron Commanders.
This MEMO is said to have been
given a nod by the powers that be but the new police helmsman, we learnt is
jittery of releasing it to the circulation because of the troubles it might
generate just as tongues are wagging on some of the promotions and decorations
of quite a number of the officers serving in the seat of power.
According to informed sources, 2
of the Presidential Police aides, Miller Dantawaye and Moses Jitoboh are some
of the people enjoying this type of gratuitous fraudulent promotions in the
Nigerian Police Force.
Whilst their contemporaries and
course mates in the Police Force are still struggling with Superintendent and
Chief Superintendent ranks, the 2 officers who’re serving the President
directly have enjoyed special promotions to the enviable rank of Commissioners
of Police within 3 years, just because they’re serving the President.
Our dependable sources gave the
case of Moses Jitoboh who has never served anywhere else from day one except
the office of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan where he started as ASP when he (Jonathan)
was Bayelsa deputy governor shortly after he finished from the Police Academy.
Within the spate of seven years or thereabout, Jitoboh rose geometrically from
ASP to become a CP today.
\Moses Jitoboh, a super cop and
the ADC to the President is one of the richest Police officers in this country,
aside the special promotions which he enjoyed regularly as one of the closest
to the Aso Rock Lord, he’s also said to be the one doing the President’s dirty
jobs including being the first to taste his food as well as stunting for the
No.1 citizen.
Another officer that’s enjoying
same special and tremendous promotions amongst the President aides is Supol
Miller Dantawaye now Compol, he’s now been promoted to the post of Commissioner
of Police and a special post has been calved out for him, he’s the Commander of
the Presidential Escort in Aso Rock.
With this, intelligent experts are so baffled
at the reason why a President should have 2 Police Commissioners in his retinue
of security details.
We also learnt that same goes to
the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan who had to ring the Chairman of the
Police Service Commission, Mike Okiro to promote her police escort when madam’s
aide complained but unfortunately he (Okiro) rejected it, this we gathered was
due to the fact that, Okiro himself had tried to favour his personal assistant
but fell on IG’s deaf ears.
And in another development, Aso
Rock once approached defence authority to give soecial promotion to the
President’s military aide but the defence authority shunned the ideas as it
simply explained promotions in the military are done across board.
The rot in the police is so bad
that the rank and file officers are worst hit as many of them don’t get
promoted on time wearing a particular rank for years without getting to be
elevated to a befitting position for a long time unless you have a godfather to
help you out. We shall serve you the second part of the police scandal in our
next edition.
