Insecurity: Ex-CP Says Police Need More Money, Motivation

• “The police need these four Ms – Men, Motivation, Materials and Money. Without money, the police can’t go anywhere.”

To effectively tackle the numerous security challenges facing the country, operatives of the Nigeria Police Force need more motivation and funding to boost their morale.

This is according to a former Commissioner of Police and Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, who disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.

While noting that the morale of police officers is low, Ojukwu called on the Federal Government to ensure that the Force is properly equipped with both men and materials.

“The police need these four Ms – Men, Motivation, Materials and Money. Without money, the police can’t go anywhere.

“There is no police force that can operate effectively without proper motivation, money for the men to have good salaries, for the men to relate as human beings. Should anybody lose his life, for the family to have something, the police go down a lot.”

When asked why criminals target military and police formations, he replied saying: “These attacks are a prelude to something more sinister.”

He, therefore, asked security agencies and intelligence departments to collaborate together with a view to finding out the sole aim of the miscreants.
