MTN Disgraces Nigeria Police Force

The much awaited MTN People Police Marathon came to a disgraceful end for the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) as a 27 year old soldier; Stephen Jurbe took the star price of $ 10,000 for emerging the winner in the 21 Km category of the race. Closely at his heels, was Danjuma Gyang an SS1 student from Plateau State who netted home $7,500. A Niger Delta born Wilson Eku representing Bauchi State came 3rd and returned to the creeks with $5000.
It was also a harvest of shame for the NPF in the 10 km mass rally. The younger brother of Banjuma Gyang, a 17 year old Emanuel Gyang dusted the NPF to emerge winner and zoomed home with a brand new Kia Rio.
The MTN People Police Marathon according to the organisers is to bring the people close to the Police and interest them in the crime fighting mission of the Police. From this decimal performance by the NPF, it has been exposed that the rank and file of the NPF is not fit to combat crime in the 21st century. If a 26 year old SS1 student can endure and out run the NPF contingent, one cannot help but allude that this unfitness in the NPF, is responsible for the ready use of guns at the slightest provocation. There is need for the NPF to regularly conduct fitness programmes for these pepper soup bellied officers parading around town with AK 47.
Basic Marshal Arts, native wrestling and other less violent crime prevention procedures, should be a prerequisite course in the NPF training schools and a must for enrolment into the rank of the rank of the NPF. Not will only this discipline the NPF, it will greatly reduce the cases of “accidental discharge” and innocent civilians being mowed down by friendly fire, as was the case recently in Niger State, where a primary school pupil was killed in his father’s house by stray bullet indiscriminately fired by the NPF in a crowded residential area.
