95 Percent Of Nigerian Police Officers Fail Intelligence Test

Statistics seem to have finally proven what many
citizens had suspected all along that many
Nigerian police officers are incapable of passing a
standard intelligence gathering assessment test.
Reports say out of the 5,000 police officers assessed
for intelligence gathering, only 266 qualified.
According to the Assistant Inspector General of
Police in charge of Force Intelligence Bureau
Solomon Arase: “Not every police officer can be an
intelligence officer. After we carried out
assessment test on the officers on ground, we
discovered that a lot of them have to go.”
Arase said this in Benin, the Edo state capital
yesterday at the inauguration of Zone ‘5’
Intelligence Bureau Ultra modern office complex
built by W/ASP Patience Omokaro and her officers
through community assistance.
“Intelligence is knowledge-based. If you don’t
have the knowledge, you can’t be an intelligent
officer,” Arase added.
