How IG Adamu Allegedly Turned Down Resignation letters From Hundreds Of Police Officers – #EndSARS—The aftermath of the #EndSARS protest has apparently seen many Police officers attempting to resign from the Police force, but the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu allegedly rejected their letters.
Apparently, the policemen were ready to leave after their humiliation and burning of stations.
“There is no amount of talk that will assuage the anger of policemen. We are very angry. Many of my colleagues tendered their resignation, but they are not accepting it. The morale is terribly low. Our officers were dehumanised. Some were killed. Many of us don’t have offices anymore. Nigerians should ask us to go if they don’t need police anymore. Are we not also Nigerians? Why should we be treated like animals?” an officer fumed.
However, the Police chief had vowed to arrest perpetrators in Lagos with a view to restoring pride of the force. According to him, 1,590 suspects have been arrested nationwide for arson and looting.
While addressing hundreds of personnel of Lagos State Police Command in GRA, Ikeja last week., he urged them not to be deterred by action of the hoodlums in the discharge of their duties and implored them to resume work with open minds.
The Genius Media reports that Lagos was the epicentre of the #EndSARS protest which later degenerated into violence that claimed numerous private and public assets. 6 officers were lynched, 36 critically injured and 46 police stations burnt in the nation’s economic capital.
The police boss said he observed that the morale of officers had dampened in the light of the violence.
Adamu said the scale of destruction witnessed during the event called for adoption of standard protocols for public protests.
