The Acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has disclosed that the major problems affecting the Force was funding.
His words: “The Nigeria Police Force which I command today, is a pivotal organ of government and the lead agency in internal security with a strength of 301,737 personnel as at 15th January 2019.“This strength and spread are not static but continue to grow side by side with overall national growth and development. Unfortunately, these growth and development have over the years, not received commensurate funding.
