The acting Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, on Wednesday, has told the leadership of the House of Representatives that the Nigeria Police Force lacks adequate resources to face the emerging security challenges in the country.
Baba urged the House to create a special fund for police operations which will allow the security outfit to respond to emergency needs.
During the meeting, Gbajabiamila told the IGP the various reasons why Nigerians don’t respect police officers on the street, stating that beyond allocating more funds and recruiting more personnel, men of the Nigeria Police Force need a psychological approach to their duties.
