The British High Commmissioner to Nigerian, Catriona Laing has stated that if UK had just one of the problems Nigerians is currently experiencing. UK will be struggling.
According to a report by Vanguard Catriona Laing, whilst speaking in Port Harcourt, Rivers State at an event touched on some of the crisis in Nigeria such as small size of the police force handling heavily populated country.
The envoy said,
“I do have some sympathy for Nigeria because if we as UK have one of these problems your country is having today, we will be struggling. Here, you deal with everything, from insurgency to kidnapping, to piracy off the Gulf of Guinea and you don’t have such a large army and police force for a country of this size.
The only way you turn this thing around is that government has to build the trust of its people, to have the people working with the government to deal with criminality. That’s how successful anti-criminal operations work.
People willingly report those committing crime, working with police to identify criminals, same with the military on the insurgency situation. It’s only when the community is on the side of the police and security services that they can turn around the situation.”
Her comments has triggered mixed responses from Nigerians and this what they have to said;
@adeboladreamz
That’s why they steadily turn the police against the citizens to keep increasing the gap between the rich and the poor so they can achieve their mischievous act of looting and stealing what is meant for all always
