Jonathan’s visit to police college meaningless — House C’mitte



The House of Representatives Committee on Police Affairs has criticised President Jonathan’s visit to the Police College Ikeja. The Chairman of the committee, Mr. Usman Kumo, described the President’s action as “meaningless.” Kumo stated that the visit might be counterproductive because Jonathan seemed to suggest that he was not aware of the dilapidated state of police formations and barracks in the country.
Kumo noted that whatever aim Jonathan wanted to achieve with the visit had been defeated, as “he simply displayed that he has not been in touch with what has been happening to the police.”
He added, “Who does not know that all police colleges in Nigeria are in a dilapidated state and uninhabitable?
“Why did he go to Lagos? Was it because a television station aired the poor state of affairs there.
