He said: “The military killed the efficiency and effectiveness of the Nigeria Police Force. The problem of the police started with Buhari in 1984 when he was Head of State. They said (Sunday) Adewusi wanted to take over the government. I explained to them that it was not possible at all.” Akiolu called on Buhari to consider repositioning the police so that they can be efficient, now that he is back as a democratic leader. The monarch prayed that the president would recover speedily and return to the country to continue with the anti-corruption fight. Also speaking, a former IG, Musiliu Smith, said the government needed to pay attention to training of officers.
