The Nigerian military said its involvement in routine police functions in no fewer than 32 states across the federation is becoming detrimental to its operations and says the trend is overstretching its officers and men. At the Senior Staff Course 40 Symposium at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College in Jaji, senior military officers advocated more recruitment and training of police personnel to live up to the charge.
They faulted the fact that a country with more than one hundred and ninety million people has less than 400,000 police officers.
