1,260 policemen from South-west Nigeria are protesting against their transfer to NorthernNigeria
- The policemen said they are not treated equally with their Northern colleagues
- They say their transfer is a lopsided one that attracts no incentives
One policeman is quoted to have said “Since they started the transfer, lives of
several policemen of South West extraction have been wasted because when
they transfer them, the authority would not provide necessary
facilities such as money, accommodation which make them prone to attacks
by the insurgents.
“We are not happy at all. This transfer
was earlier stopped by the National Assembly and a powerful politician
from the South West in 2015. It is the same policemen that are being
transferred now. We knew this because their transfer letters bore their
former ranks under the former Inspector General of Police, Solomon
Arase.”
