Nigerian police reject ranking worlds worst

A interesting topic!

The Nigerian Police Force has indeed rejected a ranking that placed them as the "worst police force in the world". This ranking was published by the World Internal Security and Police Index (WISPI) in 2020, which is a global ranking of police forces based on various criteria such as crime rates, police resources, and community trust.

According to the WISPI report, the Nigerian Police Force ranked 126th out of 127 countries, with a score of 44.4 out of 100. The report highlighted several challenges facing the Nigerian Police Force, including corruption, inadequate resources, and poor community relations.

However, the Nigerian Police Force has rejected the ranking, describing it as "unfair and misleading". The Force's spokesperson, Frank Mba, stated that the ranking was based on outdated data and did not take into account the efforts being made by the Force to improve its operations and services.

Mba also pointed out that the ranking was based on a narrow set of criteria and did not consider the many positive developments in the Nigerian Police Force, such as the establishment of new police formations and the introduction of new technologies to enhance policing.

The Nigerian Police Force has also been criticized for its handling of various security challenges in the country, including kidnapping, armed robbery, and terrorism. However, the Force has continued to face challenges in terms of funding, equipment, and personnel, which has hindered its ability to effectively address these security challenges.

In conclusion, while the Nigerian Police Force has rejected the ranking as the "worst police force in the world", it is clear that the Force still faces many challenges in terms of improving its operations and services. The Force needs to continue to work towards addressing these challenges and improving its relationship with the community in order to effectively address the security challenges facing the country.
