The Inspector-General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, has said a good number of youths who participated in the #EndSARS protest have registered their interest in joining the Nigeria Police Force.
The #EndSARS protest which took place in October 2020 saw youths take to the streets across the country to demand an end to police brutality and bad governance.
Mohammed who spoke on Channels Television’s Newsnight on Monday said the same youths have shown interest in joining the Force.
He said, “The youths who participated in the #EndSARS and the rest of them, many of them want to join the police.
“Many of them will come and say, ‘Please, we want to join the police,’ because the service the police provide is a service of God.”
The IGP, however, pointed out that officers in the Force don’t have the required logistics needed to operate.
He said if they are given the same logistics as their foreign counterparts, they will perform better.
