The authorities of the Nigerian Police College, Oji River in
Enugu State, have suspended five recruits for indiscipline.
The five are among the 966 fresh intakes of 2016 class currently
undergoing training since Dec. 31, 2016 and expected to pass out in
September.
The Commandant of the college, Anthony Ogboji, made the
disclosure in an address at the opening of a three-day Nigerian
Police Force Human Rights Training Programme in Oji River on
Friday.
Mr. Ogboji said the recruits were drawn from the five states of
Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo in South East zone.
He said: “144 recruits out of the 966 were specialists and have
successfully been trained, passed out and posted to various
department and formations of the force where their skills are
needed.
“The officers attached to this college are doing their best to
ensure we turn out well-trained, disciplined and seasoned police
constables that can contain the enormous and dynamic police duty
challenges in the society.
“Therefore, five recruits who have been found wanting in
discipline, are serving suspension,” he said.
The commandant expressed appreciation to the Enugu State
Government for a grant of N10 million for the upgrade of
infrastructure at the college.
“When I was posted to the college I was scared seeing the level
of infrastructural decay.
“The college wrote to Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi explaining the
infrastructural decay and some needs of the college for which he
graciously released the N10 million.
“Today, recruits are no longer going to the bush to defecate.
The female recruits are now bathing in the bathrooms inside their
hotels and no longer in the open place.
“There is light in the hostels now, soak-away (sewage) pits
constructed, doors and windows that were bad replaced and leaking
roofs repaired and replaced,’’ he said.
