Nigerians hate their police and this affects their morale and promotes insecurity in the country, this was the conclusion of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) national chairman Mogaji Olaniyan.
Mr. Olaniyan who was speaking during the 40th anniversary of the PCRC in Abeokuta, Ogun State urged Nigerians to have a change of attitude towards the police force and foster a good working relationship with officers.
He emphasized that this deep-seated resentment must be addressed to cultivate a healthy relationship between the people and the police, ultimately enhancing security across the nation.
“We are calling that people should love the Nigeria Police, this is what they lack right from childhood we have created enmity between our children and the Nigeria Police,” Olaniyan said
“This hatred starts from our home. For instance if parents want to scold their children they will say ‘I will call the police for you. This is why our children grow up with hatred for the police and that is why we are trying to stop this narrative.”
