Tension, Anger In Police Academy As Nigeria Police Refuse To Out 418 Cadets Enrolled Since 2015

There is anger at the Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, as the police authorities led by the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, failed to out 418 cadet Assistant Superintendents of Police who had been enrolled since 2015.

SaharaReporters learnt that the cadets came in December 2015 and after spending the statutory five years, should have have ed out since December 2020, but the authorities kept bringing up excuses.

SaharaReporters was told that inefficiency at the NPF Academy has stalled the ing out of the cadet ASPs amidst the shortage of policemen to quell insecurity in the country.

Some of the cadets told SaharaReporters that life is no longer meaningful in the academy where they are without freedom, fed with substandard meals and denied access to their families.

One of them said, “What is bewildering is the fact that we, the Cadet ASPs Regular Course Three, were itted in December 2015 for five academic years which terminated in December 2020. For six months now, we have been doing nothing in the academy.

“I know at least six cadets who have lost their parents this year and were not able to see them or pay their last respects, due to the restrictions around here. The police authorities have refused to organise our ing out, despite the arrival of a new Inspector General of Police.”

“It is not so for our colleagues in the National Defence Academy. At a time our nation is confronted with many threats occasioned by security challenges experiencing across all parts of the country, and most importantly, the fact that the current management of the force has confessed that the Nigeria Police Force presently is understaffed and therefore confronted with inadequate manpower, why are we still here?” another cadet queried.

“We ought to have been commissioned since December 2020 to start police duties. Our ing out has been postponed several times when the NDA ed out in October 2020. Many dates have been fixed for our POP – April 1, April 12, and May 25, all in 2021 and none of these dates has seen the light of the day.”

SaharaReporters learnt that the academy is presently screening the Regular Course 8 despite not ing out the Course 3, which is giving the cadets a lot of worry.

Another cadet said, “The worst part of it is that it is obvious the force management has forgotten us in the academy and presently they don't even know when we will be ing out. The school authorities are set to commence screening of Course 8 on June 19 whereas the Regular Course Three Cadet ASPs have been abandoned in the academy without being commissioned.

“The questions that have remained unanswered are: What could be the political gains or reasons that are meant to be achieved with this delay? What politics could the management be playing with the destiny and future of young cadets?

“One can wonder the psychological trauma these cadets are going through having stayed five years, 6 months and still counting in the academy,” a source at the academy said.

The Academy doesn't work like that. Once you complete your cadet officer training you get commissioned. Polac is a dissappointment, God bless NDA.

I wouldn't be surprised if ethnic politics is the elephant in the room here!
2015? That was Jonathan's period? Could be that Buhari and the new guys in the helm at the police headquarters will like to water down the ethnic makeup of that group to make sure the north dominates! Sounds scary?
Follow up on this very story and you will notice this to be the main reason...

I am willing to bet those are Southerners

This is a big disappointment coming from the management of the police, what is stopping them from ing those Cadets from the Academy? Must the Nigerian Police fail in everything. NDA had their pop without any problem but the NPF are not concerned about the morals of the over due Cadets.
Naija matter don tire person Walahi .

There's no single policy brought up by the fulani government that is meant for your good as long as you don't belong to their camp. All southerners must agree with this statement before they can understand the urgency for the dissolution of the shithole.
Those police cadets recruited during GEJ's time are on their own.

them get carry over

Ok let's keep watching

The level of corruption and politics that goes on in the NPF is so appalling. At the detriment of this country, those fools at the police Commission are willing to do anything to get key spots and position their "boys" in strategic and juicy offices.

Wahala. If the police as a body can frustrate its own products then what is the fate of us the citizens they're employed to suffer sorry I meant serve?

No wonder they graduate angry and become a menace to the society they were employed to serve.

Sahara reporters again. They sure know how to bring up news that'll really cause wahala. I doubt if there's any good news SR has ever published

They all failed Egunje 101

Chai one number short of 419 which is what the Nigerian Police are known for.

POLAC WILL NOT FAIL

Out there is hell for NPF this days, especially if u were posted to the east.

Some disappointment always end up as a blessing.


they should just thank God for life

Still the Buhari effect .. nothing can work well under him

Who are you talking to.

They need to be patient, it is part of the psychological training

Well just a quick reminder;
#Do u know After the endSars protest, Sars ended and police
harassment of yung guys reduced drastically
#Do u also noticed after the protest there have been less
report of yung guys hitting FP that die due to police extortion
n extra judicial killings??

Just incase anyone come to tell u Endsars protest achieved
nothing, u can decide for urself if it's true or not. Well another
Nationwide protest more massive than Endsars is coming
June 12? And if you are comfortable n feel very secure in
Nigeria, living very fine of ur dreams stay at home BUT if
you're tired like me together let's hit the street on June 12
and tell Buhari #We are tired
