NPF Spends N600m On Procurement of Dogs -IGP

The Inspector-General of Police (IG), Mr Solomon Arase, said the Nigeria Police Force had spent over N600 million on the procurement and maintenance of foreign dogs in the last few years.

Arase made the disclosure at the inauguration of the Police Dog Breeding Centre and Ultra Modern Mounted Troop in Abuja on Thursday.

"This is certainly not sustainable in the face of the current dwindling resources,"he said.

The IG said that so much money was being spent on the importation of dogs from foreign countries that rarely adapted to the country's policing objective.

Please o, where are the dogs?

Nawa o!
