Rating of Nigerian police

Recently, the International Police Science Association (IPSA) released the list of countries that are performing the worst in terms of policing. The list is titled World Internal Security and Police Index (WISPI).

Unfortunately, Nigeria is one of the five worst states in terms of policing. The rating was done based on the number of police officers in the country. level of terrorism and rioting. Also, the number of police on the country's borders, as well as governance, were taken into consideration.

The association then explained that the broader definition gave room for the inclusion of traditional internal security issues such as the insurgency, terrorism and civil unrest, as well as other areas of internal violence like organised crime, violent crime, citizen perceptions of safety and riots, as well as governance issues and many others.
