College, Ikeja, Lagos.
The Commandant
of the College, Boniface Onyeabor, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
on Wednesday that 123 Cadet Inspectors and 52 recruits had completed
their training.
NAN reports
that President Buhari had on Aug 15, 2015, ordered the recruitment of
10,000 additional police men for effective policing of the country.
“The first batch of police personnel belonging to the specialist units passed out from the college on May 19.
“They will be on two-week vacation before they resume at their different state commands,’’ the commandant said.
Onyeabor, a
Commissioner of Police, said about 1,300 general duty policemen would
also complete training at the college between September and December.
“When they
finish training, the recruits would be given attestation, service
register and appointment letters by the Police Service Commission,’’ he

The commandant said the recruits would be the “new face of the force’’ as they had been trained to fit into modern day policing.
According to
him, the new police personnel were trained to have respect human rights,
shun corruption, indiscipline and all forms of professional misconduct.
