It’s funny because you’ll imagine how a grown man, and especially a policeman be crying over common transfer.
But it’s also sad because it shows how unsafe the nation is, and even people that were supposed to enforce law and order are afraid of being posted to anywhere in the country.
“It was wailing and yelling galore as the Police Management transferred over 50,000 policemen to different parts of the country, we learnt.
An impeccable source said news about the postings started filtering to state commands on Thursday.
According to the source, over 5,000 inspectors and other ranks were moved from each state command and scattered to other commands.
It was gathered that the policemen, who were transferred from Delta State, were posted to Kano, Plateau, Borno and Yobe States.
Also, those transferred from northern states were posted to states like Benue, Enugu and Abia states.
It was gathered that some policemen had threatened to resign if the postings were not changed, while others resorted to spiritual help in order to be able to cope in their new areas.
The number of senior officers affected in the transfer was put at about 5,000 as compared to those of other ranks.
The source revealed that because of the determination of the top echelon of the police to confront security challenges in the country headlong, directed that nobody should be spared in the postings.
