A tweet by the Ogun State Police Command on Monday has continued to generate mixed reactions from Nigerians on the platform.
The force through its Twitter page made a tweet seeking the opinions of the public about their level of interest in making a career as a police officer.
“Would you consider joining the Nigeria Police Force and make a career out of it? Send in your reactions”, the command tweeted.
Reacting to the tweet, a tweep identified as @ThatProudYorubaMan, tweeted, “The day anoy of my siblings, relatives or even joins Nigerian police force is the day we lose memories of ourselves as I will cut off all ties with them and they must do same to me. Nigerian police is the worst thing after the govt to happen to Nigerians.”
In response to the tweet, the command replied, “Your opinion is indeed respected. Mind you sir, together we can achieve a police of our dream.”
Another tweep, identified as EMEKA while replying the force tweeted,”Please with all due respect sir… No police of our dream…. You guys are extremely wicked and horrible… Just know we Nigerians hate you people”
Sharing a similar position, @Victor Olusola, tweeted, “Nothing fascinates me about the police that would make me want to join it; the corruption, insincerity,criminality,bribery etc that ooze from every police I come across, is so disgusting that I will never consider joining the force.”
Another tweep, @Hmbventures, sharing a different opinion tweeted, “The police force is not a corrupt institution it depends on your mindset.I’ve seen more good police than the bad ones”
Similarly, @Abdullahi Umar Zarma tweeted, “Why not? Police is a very good career if we have it in mind that we are going to serve with utmost sincerity. The few bad police among the police officers shouldn’t be a yardstick to condemn the entire police force. We love you ”
