NIGERIA, Abuja– The International Police Organization has ranked the Nigerian Police as the best in Africa and one of the leading security outfits in the world. Many thanks to South-Africa for retaining the crime capital of Africa despite stiff challenges from some African countries. Non the less, it is not surprising that many have questioned the ranking released by INTERPOL in January 2025.
But if you are one of those doubters, here are 5 major reasons for the high ranking:
1. Ability to serve at any capacity:
They are domestic servants to politicians, traffic managers, vehicle inspectors, detectives and above all, tax collectors on the highway.
2. They are symbols of national unity:
With officers having several wives and side chicks across different parts of Nigeria, we are sure that Nigeria will not disintegrate because of the good domestic understanding of the gallant officers.
3. Ability to communicate effectively:
With words such as Roja, move it, show your papers, Oya settle, and more, an average Nigerian understands what is expected, making the job easy for both parties.
4. Ability to deal with crime:
Being able to arrive at the crime scene 1 hour after the crime and arrest passers-by for interrogation, the police is able to make sure that everyone is safe.
5. Ability to identify criminals by their dress code:
No police in the world is gifted with such capacity.
