Furmer Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Sir Mike Okiro has identified policy summersault as responsible for the myriad of problems facing police operations in Nigeria.

In a message titled “The police I met, served and left,” the former police boss said policy summersaults had not only marred effective policing in Nigeria, but also other aspects of national life, including the civil service. 

Okiro lamented that the good old days when the system worked well and a police officer was highly respected, just as civil servants and teachers were, had given way to a decayed system, where police officers bear the brunt of a failed system.

Citing what happened during the #EDNDSARS protest, he said the police suffered heavy casualties because they were the visible, outward and tangible representation of government. 

“SARS was, therefore, viewed as an image of a failed system. The protesters vented their anger, disdain and frustrations against our detestable national ethos, a system that pushed them to the domain of hopelessness. SARS was notorious in its dealings with Nigerians, the youth especially. So, #END SARS became a rallying point, a slogan that could be easily used to galvanise the youths against government policies and programmes, and because of this, the police suffered casualties on behalf of the government,” he said. 

Though, the former police boss said he regretted establishing the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS), he justified its creation as a necessary  response to an official challenge; an answer to a lack of arms and equipment in the police in the early 1990s when a notorious armed robber, Shina Rambo was terrorising Lagos and its environs.

Okiro said it was the SARS team that eventually neutralised Shina Rambo in two separate operations at Berger Bus stop, Isheri along Lagos – Ibadan expressway and at Isokoko on his way to Otta, Ogun State.

    It was with a perfect aplomb that the Chief,OBJ did call the ongoing
    trend in the country under President Buhari as the Fulanization and
    Islamization of our Kwa/Bantu fatherland.
    In a couple of months,President Buhari with his unbridled nepotism
    couple with his utter Islamic bigotry effected the following appointments;
    1.He replaced Mallam Tukur Yusuf Buratai with Mallam Attahiru Ibrahim
    as the New Chief of Army Staff.
    2.He replaced Mallam Ibrahim Yusuf Magu with Mallam Abdulrasheed
    Bawa as a new Chairman of EFCC.
    3.Buhari recently replaced Mallam Mohammed Abubakar Adamu with
    Mallam Usman Akali Baba as a new IGP.
    Such mindlessness,arrogance and brazen jettisoning of Federal Character
    and Quota System Requirement in Federal Government Appointments
    can not engender unity in this country, but rather divide us Nigerians.
    Ours is a multi-cultural, a multi-ethnic and a multi-religious country of
    nations and that must be taken very serious in matters of appointment.
    Thus,there must be equity,fairness and justice in this country of ours.
    Nigeria We Hail The.Lol!
    No to the status quo ante bellum!!
    Down with Hausa/Fulani Islamic Hegemony!!!
