A retired Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) Special Agent, Michael Bonner, has highlighted proper resources as key in the area of Police Reforms in Nigeria.

While discussing on ‘Reforming The Nigeria Police’ on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily this morning, Mr. Bonner, who is the former head of the FBI office in Lagos, stated that “The biggest thing is proper resources…  they (the Nigeria Police) are not being  resourced properly. They are not getting the things they really need.”

While comparing the Police Academy in United States of America to its Nigerian counterpart, Mr Bonner said stated that computer labs and library resources should be available to the Nigeria Police during training.

“The recruits should be able to receive all the equipments and resources that they need to do the job and be able to use that during the training in the academy.”

Mr Bonner opined that it is important for every law office marshal to receive adequate training and retraining all through the career as obtainable in any other field.

He also expressed believe in the Nigeria Police stating that “I believe that if properly resourced, the police and all the other agencies in Nigeria will be able to do a much better job.”
