The Police High Command, on Saturday, clarified that the recent video in circulation depicting police recruits undergoing training in substandard conditions with inadequate food provisions and welfare was an old report dated back over 10 years ago.

This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja by the Force Public Relations Officer, FPRO, Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi’

According to the statement, “The video, which was originally a special report released by Channels Television, dates back over ten years and reflects the training environment at the Police Training College in Ikeja during that period.

It clarified that “the then Federal Government leadership responded to the call and carried out repairs in the college and improved on the feeding condition of police trainees.

The statement added that “since then, the Nigeria Police Force has experienced various leadership changes, resulting in considerable advancements and development in all areas.

The Police raised the concern that “the recirculation of the video seems to be a deliberate act to create a wrong impression of the police system and, most likely, the handiwork of mischief makers to malign the police authority.

According to it, “the Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Dr Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun has reaffirmed the dedication of the Force to the excellent training of police recruits and the welfare of personnel in general”.
