According to World Internal Security and Police Index International, WISPI, Nigeria has the worst police force in the world.
.
.
The report was released by the International Police Science Association, IPSA, and the Institute for Economics and Peace.
.
.
The indices used in accessing 127 countries from four key areas, namely, capacity, process, legitimacy and outcomes, aim to measure the ability of the security apparatus within a country to respond to internal security challenges, both now and in future. .
.
Nigeria police performed worst on the index on all the four domains, with a score of 0.255 ranked 127 below Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Uganda and Pakistan. .
.
According to the report, the top 10 performing African countries are Botswana, Rwanda, Algeria, Senegal, Tunisia, Egypt, Burkina Faso, Ghana, South Africa and Mali, in that order. .
.
The report showed that Singapore performed best on the index, followed by Finland, and then Denmark. The Nigerian police, however, rejected the report. A statement by spokesperson Jimoh Moshood claimed the Nigeria police is the best in Africa. .
.
“In the UN Peace Keeping System, the Nigeria Police Force is rated as the best in UN Peace keeping operations in the world.
.
.
This clearly shows that the Nigeria Police Force is not and cannot be the worst in the world under any known scientific yardstick or measuring instrument. .
.
Currently, the Nigeria Police Force is one of the only two African Delegates representing the whole of Africa continent on the executive committee of Interpol, a position the Force attained based on high performance, merit and sustained good track records. .
.
However, it must be pointed out that the Nigeria Police Force sees the report as a clear demonstration of mischief, ignorance and calculated attempt to distort the feat being recorded by the Force in ensuring adequate security and safety of Nigerians," the statement said.
