Hundreds of policemen in Rivers State have sent a Save our Soul messages to the Inspector-General of Police following plans to demolish their homes in some stations located in the state.
The notice dated June 3 was addressed to all occupants of houses at Nimi Okoro police station and signed by the police provost Marshall for the state Commissioner of Police. The policemen of various ranks especially junior officers and rank and file were said to have saved money to build small structures for their families since the government could not provide accommodation for them.
But the affected policemen said they had no other place to go and begged the police authority to either reconsider the demolition plan or provide accommodation for them. “We suffered to do it ourselves and they are threatening to pull the houses down. Where do they want to us to go? What will happen to our families and children? We are begging the government and the IGP to come to our rescue. We are asking the IGP to help us because we know he doesn’t want to see his men homeless”.
