The Inspector-General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, has claimed youths who took part in the #EndSARS protest, want to join the Nigeria Police Force.
The #EndSARS protest which happened in October 2020, saw Nigerians take to the streets across the country to demand an end to police brutality and bad governance.
Mohammed, speaking on Channels Television’s Newsnight on Monday, said the same youths have shown interest in joining the Force.
He said, “The youths who participated in the #EndSARS and the rest of them, many of them want to join the police.
“Many of them will come and say, ‘Please, we want to join the police,’ because the service the police provide is a service of God.”
The IGP, however, pointed out that officers in the Force don’t have the required logistics needed to operate.
