Photo Of The Day: Policeman Shamelessly Drinking Beer On Duty

Is it any surprise that in the face of all the security challenges we are currently facing, the Nigeria Police look incapacitated? Yes, they are poorly funded and ill equipped to effectively rise up to the challenge but how prepared are the men in black? Mentally? Physically? Psychologically?

Despite the efforts by government to improve the operational capacity of the Nigeria Police Force and pockets of successes recorded here and there, Nigerians are still at the mercy of these men whose mental and psychological balance is highly suspect.

Could this be one of the reasons? A Policeman drinking a can of beer publicly while still on uniform? The policeman in the picture, by his rank, is a Sergeant and no one can say for sure how many cans he has had to drink already or will still have. How can there be an end to ‘accidental’ discharge and unprovoked shootings by men of the Nigerian Police Force when they consume alcohol on duty?

  2. Have you only discovered the beer in his hand? what of the cigarete in his left hand? Very poor and shamless entity, element of disgrace to Nig. Force and unworthy personel. What is it to prove that this same man will not be taking marijuana and other hard drugs? Then, tell me how will he be able to discharge his duty incoruptively. It’s a pity, Nig. Is insecured.
