  1. It can’t make any difference. Both chief commander and nearly all chief security officers are within you and you are still like this. Is anyone expect better? can you give what you don’t have? Keep waiting!

    1. You recommend police to be well equiped to fight boko haram. Also plead with president and national assembly to remove police from contributory pension scheme which is their welfare and major challenge.
