News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2015 directed that police personnel attached to unauthorised persons and VIPs in the country be withdrawn and deployed to confront the security challenges in the nation. “We could not sustain the enforcement of the order on the withdrawal of policemen attached to unqualified persons in the country because of lack of fund. The chairman said that that the number of policemen in the country was inadequate for the population, hence the request for the recruitment of more policemen. He said that issue of paucity of fund had been one of the problems hindering the recruitment of more policemen for enhanced service delivery. If you want to police Nigeria as it should be, the entire budget of Nigeria cannot be enough for that,” he said.
