Recall that a former assistant director of the Department of State Services (DSS), Dennis Amachree, recently asked the federal government to prioritise the welfare of personnel of the NPF.
Amachree made the comment in an interview with Channels Television on Thursday, January 14 while speaking on the role of the police in society.
According to him, the Nigerian government cannot continue to relegate the NPF and expect maximum performance from its personnel.
Meanwhile, the presidency has declared that President Muhammadu Buhari will not be driven by ethnic sentiments or affiliations in his choice of the next Inspector-General of Police.
Rather, it said the president will only appoint someone who will ensure the security of Nigerians better than what has been recorded.
