Security decries poor remuneration, under equipping of Police force in Nigeria

Timely remuneration, adequate and sufficient provision of equipment have been identified as some of the factors to enable the Nigeria Police perform optimally in the fight against criminality in the Country.

A security expert, Retired Colonel Chinedu Owhondah , who made this assertion in an interview with Treasure FM decried the lack of logistics and poor welfare condition under which Police officers work.

Colonel Owhondah said poor welfare had led some officers into engaging into unwholesome acts thereby breaching public trust and confidence.

He called for re-orientation of those in the force to shape their minds and motivate them towards the challenging tasks ahead of them.

Colonel Owhondah added that it was important for the Security agencies to work in synergy with the public to successfully eliminate crimes in the society.
