Why Southerners Are Not Interested In Police Force Recruitment ~HURIWA

Human Rights Writers’ Association of Nigeria has said youths from the south do not to want to be enlisted into Nigeria Police Force due how the police force is structured to favour some part of the country over the others.

HURIWA said this after the Force revealed that out of the 81,005 applications received nationwide in the ongoing police recruitment as of January 7, 2022, 1,404 applications – less than 2 per cent of the total applications – were received from the five states in the South-East

The rights group, in a statement issued by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, said the current state of the Force is skewed to favour Muslims.

Civil Advocacy Association urged the National Assembly to quickly rediscover its parliamentary independence, political will and will to serve Nigeria, and amend relevant sections of the extant constitution to make room for comprehensive police reforms including the creation of state police.

HURIWA told the hierarchy of the Nigeria Police Force to embark on thoroughly in-house cleansing to weed out the bad eggs amongst the Force that are usually posted to Southern states to set up cash extortion rackets as checkpoints.

The rights group said so long as these professional misconduct and criminality are tolerated at the highest levels of the present day Nigeria Police Force, there won’t be a lot of useful youths in the South who will be willing and available for enlistment into the Nigeria Police Force.

"Over the last few months, my administration has worked closely with internet providers — this is a case where big business stepped up — urging them to cut their prices and raise their speeds. I'm trying to get others to do the same thing with inflation, but these guys are the best," Biden said in the Rose Garden on Monday, drawing laughs with the last line. Biden has repeatedly blamed high inflation rates on corporate greed. "So now," he continued, "families who are eligible can select a plan from a participating provider and receive high-speed internet at no cost in most cases." The plan will cover some 48 million households and, when combined with existing federal subsidies, make internet servi...
