Shehu Sani, Senator representing
Kaduna Central district in the National Assembly has raised concern over the
state of Nigeria Police.
Sani, on Friday called on the
federal government to stop sidelining the Nigeria police and accord same
attention it gives the Nigerian Military.
He stated this in reaction to the
approval of N1bn approved for military equipment.
Recall that Buhari had approved
the fund during a meeting with the Minister of Defence, Brigadier General
Mansur Dan-Ali (rtd), and the service chiefs at the Presidential Villa in
Abuja.
The Kaduna lawmaker in his tweets
expressed concern on the force being left behind.
Speaking on the repercussion of
sidelining police, Sani wrote: “If we use a Billion dollar to upgrade our
military arsenals to the 21st century while leaving behind our police in the
20th century and other security agencies in the 19th century, we will be
dancing with the Python & sleeping with the Cobra,Viper,Mamba &
Anaconda.”

I think a senator of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria should know that the money was removed for security and not for the military.
ReplyDeleteAgain, all gadgets and equipments bought are referred to as military equipment and not police equipment in general parlance. That does not in anyway mean only the military would use the equipments.
