The Nigerian Police Force was ranked the worst in the World. The report was obtained from the 2016 World Internal Security & Police Index, where Nigeria was ranked with the worst Police system in the world.

The report places the Singapore Police Force as the best in the world followed by Finland, and then Denmark. Nigeria’s police force is ranked worst on the index followed by DR Congo, Kenya, Uganda and Pakistan. Countries with protracted civil conflicts were not ranked on the index.

See ranking below:

The Nigerian Police Force has however rejected the report.

In a statement signed by Police PRO Jimoh Moshood, the report is described as “entirely misleading, a clear misrepresentation of facts and figures and essentially unempirical, considering the area of coverage of the report”. The statement reads:

FHQ ABUJA- NOVEMBER 10TH, 2017

PRESS RELEASE

RE: NIGERIA POLICE RATED WORST IN THE WORLD

· Nigeria Police Force is the best in UN Peace Keeping Operations, Best in Africa, One of the Best in the World. The Force rejects the report as unempirical and absolute falsehood, should be disregarded and discountenanced.

· IGP Assures Nigerians, International Community and Stakeholders Of Policing with Integrity and International Core Values and World Best Practices.

The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to The Cable News Online of today, 10th November, 2017 captioned “NIGERIA POLICE RATED WORST IN THE WORLD”, on the 2016 World Internal Security and Police Index (WISPI) credited to two (2) bodies, The International Police Association and the Institute for Economics and Peace. The report claimed to have measured the ability of the Police to address Internal Security Issues in 127 Countries in four (4) key areas of Capacity, Process, Legitimacy and Outcomes.

2. The Nigeria Police Force after a careful study of the report and the news items emanating from it, wishes to state categorically that the report is entirely misleading, a clear misrepresentation of facts and figures and essentially unempirical, considering the area of coverage of the report which was said to have been carried out in 2016 by the above mentioned associations.

3. The report did not take into cognisance the significant improvement in the areas of Capacity Building, Training and Re-training of the entire personnel of the Force as provided for by the current Federal Government of Nigeria and other Foreign and Local NGOs which has greatly improved the efficiency and service delivery of the personnel of the Force throughout the country.

4. It is pertinent to state that the instruments used to evaluate the performance of the Force vis-à-vis that of other countries is absolutely incorrect and grossly inadequate and therefore a plain distortion of facts and figures. The strength of about Three Hundred and Seventy Thousand (370,000) Police Personnel in the country stands at around One (1) Policeman to less than Six Hundred (600) people in a population estimates of One Hundred and Eighty Millions (180,000,000) Nigerians.

5. It is equally significant to state that the current recruitment of additional Ten Thousand (10,000) Police Personnel into the Force by the Federal Government of Nigeria and the request by the Inspector General of Police to Government for approval of the recruitment of Thirty One Thousand (31,000) Police Personnel yearly for a period of 5years will definitely increase the strength of the Force to meet up with the UN ratio of One (1) Policeman to Four Hundred (400) citizens.

6. Furthermore, 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.

7. 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.

8. For avoidance of doubt, since the inception of the present Police administration in July 2016, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim K. Idris NPM, mni, he has introduced and implemented diverse internal reforms aimed at improving capacity building and efficient service delivery of the personnel of the Force, which is yielding positive results in the standardization of the capability of the Nigeria Police Force to deal with violent crimes and terrorism throughout the country. The establishment and take-off of a world class Terrorism Investigation Bureau for the Force with state-of-the-art equipment and technical support from foreign partners has greatly improved the capacity of the Force to deal with threats posed to internal security in this regard.

9. 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. Nowhere in the report were references made to either the improved capacity or achievements recorded by the Nigeria Police Force across the country in the recent time, the Force therefore implores all Nigerians and international community to disregard the report as unfounded and misleading.

10. The renewed determination of the Force to adhere to Internal Police Reforms for greater efficiency in service delivery and conform to standard principles, building trust and confidence in the citizenry for their safety remain unequivocal and unwavering.

A former hooker who claims to have slept with more than 10,000 men has revealed the surprising things men will pay for as she tells women what blokes want in bed .

After more than a decade in the adult industry, Australian woman Gwyneth Montenegro, 39, has detailed her experience and sexual wisdom in a new book, 10,000 men and counting.

According to the UK Sn,Montenegro details how men prefer women with small boobs with a real feel – and in fact women of all shapes and sizes can be the centre of a man’s attentions rather than the stereotypical glamour type.

“A little-known secret in the punting world, is that there are quite a lot of men who will actively seek out escorts who are not the hottest of the hot women and go for someone who isn’t as classically beautiful, because they feel shy and sometimes a little inadequate themselves,” she said.

But following her 12 years in the sex industry she said most men didn’t turn to her for “hardcore kinky sex” but because they felt threatened in their own relationships.

Gwyneth, 39, said a lot of her clients wanted to “feel masculine again”.Gwyneth managed to sleep with 10,091 men and kept a journal recording every single one.

She said: “I journalised it – it sort of started as a bit of a joke, I thought I’d write down my experiences to help me cope with it.

“It’s not something I set out to do but the cocaine and champagne high life is very addictive – then all of a sudden 12 years of your life is gone, just like that.”

Her clients were described as mainly ‘white collar businessmen’ and although she added that around 90 per cent of them were married, Gwyneth claims she doesn’t feel guilty as she ‘probably saved their marriages’.

“It’s simple – men do not cheat if they are getting all the sex they want in the marriage.

“Just because men get married, they don’t turn off that part of them and if the woman does not put out for a long time, men can’t turn off their biological desire to have sex.”As one of my clients put it ‘I love my wife so much I’m so in love with her but we don’t have sex, I only have sex three times a year and I’m a red blooded man I can’t deal with that’.

“Men don’t cheat because they can, they cheat because they are satisfying their biological desire – this is not Pretty Woman – men don’t leave their wife for an escort.”

She coyly admits that one of her best ever clients in terms of performance, was actually an 84-year-old man.

She said she is glad to be away from the industry and now teaches women how to “understand” men and make the most of their relationships.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, has said he is free to date any policewoman of his choice as there is no law stopping him from doing this.

Idris challenged the lawmaker representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, Senator Isa Misau, who accused him of having an affair with a junior female colleague, to prove him otherwise.

This was made known via a written defence presented through his lawyer, Dr. Alex Iziyon (SAN), to the Senate ad-hoc committee investigating the allegations against him by the senator.

SUNDAY PUNCH got a copy of the written defence, where the allegations against the IG were listed in six categories and responded to.

Idris asked the senator to cite a section of the law that prevents him from having romantic relationship with a policewoman.

The police boss recalled that Misau’s father married the lawmaker’s mother while in service.

On the allegation that Idris was having affairs with two female officers who also got questionable promotions as a result, Iziyon said, “This allegation is laughable and showed lack of understanding of the provisions of the Police Act and regulation.”

The Inspector-General of Police challenged the senator to cite the section of the Police Act and Regulation which forbids a police officer from marrying another police officer.

He said,

“Until he brings such section of the Police Act, it will amount to discussing the Inspector-General of Police’s private life, which ordinarily should not have been entertained on the floor of the Senate.

“It might be appropriate to remind the senator, whose mother retired from the police as an Inspector of Police and a father who retired from the police as an Assistant Inspector-General of Police, that the Inspector-General of Police is a Moslem and, according to Islamic Law, can marry four wives provided he can love them equally.

“The senator also alleged that the Inspector-General of Police is in a relationship with one Corporal Amina whom he claimed was promoted from the rank of Corporal to an Assistant Superintendent of Police within 12 months.

“This allegation is false and the senator is under obligation to give the full particulars of the female police (officer), where she is serving and her duty post. It is not possible to promote a corporal to the rank of an ASP except the officer has attended an in-service cadet course.”

A police officer on Friday, wounded a soldier during a fight at the automated teller machine (ATM) at a bank in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.

DAILY POST gathered that trouble ensued when the soldier, who was in uniform came to make withdrawal, but did not want to follow the queue.

When people began to protest, the police officer, who was in mufti confronted the Soldier demanding that, he must follow queue like any other person.

The two began exchanging words until combat followed with both displaying their tactics.

The policeman over powered the soldier and gave him the beating of his life until someone called the attention of both the military and police authorities in Damaturu.

The 2 i/c Mopol in Damaturu came and picked their man, including the police officers who were on duty at the bank for interrogation.

Another senior military officer, who arrived the scene also picked the wounded soldier back to base for treatment and possible interrogation.

It could be recall that few months ago, there was a similar clash between soldiers and policemen that left many casualties in the end.

The Former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has said he is under intense pressure to contest in the 2019 Election.

Speaking to Dele Momodu, Goodluck said he is moved to tears, having seeing people shout, “GEJ, we want you back”.

Jonathan, who ruled out the possibility of returning to office, said reflections on his achievements and mistakes make him sober.

“I’m not God but I sincerely doubt the possibility,” Jonathan was quoted to have said in response to a question on the next election.

“People come to me every day saying they want me back. I’m always moved to tears whenever I go out and see the huge crowds shouting GEJ, we want you, even in the north.

“Instead of getting swollen headed, I actually reflect on my achievements and mistakes and feel humbled and feel very sober…

“I have never been a man of inordinate ambition. I’m a man of very modest means. I hardly travel because of the logistical costs. I’ve played my part and I have moved on.”

Asked what he would do if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gives him its presidential ticket in 2019, he said: “Are you not aware that our party has zoned the presidency to the north, and the chairmanship to the south?

“Even Fayose that has declared his interest may face big challenges because of the decision of our party.”

A popular Pastor in Ghana, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, the General Overseer and Founder of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, has brought in another dimension to the general belief by Christians that Jesus Christ is the son of God by saying He is fake.

Rev. Bempah who is seen as one of the most controversial religious figures in that West African country made the shocking declaration in an interview with a television station, Kofi TV when he said Jesus Christ is not the son of God and is fake.

In the exclusive interview, the very outspoken man of God insisted that the real name of the son of God who came to die to save the world is ‘Yeshua HaMashiach’ and that Jesus Christ was an impostor.

In his words, Yeshua means ‘Salvation’ while HaMashiach means ‘The Anointed One’, wondering how Christians all over the world have been hoodwinked to think Jesus is the true son of God when in fact, he is not.

Rev. Bempah maintained that ‘Jesus of Nazareth, the man we read about in history books and in the New Testament, was merely a fabrication of first-century Romans, who created his gospels as a way to quell the messianic fervor of the Jews’.

He further stated that Jesus was just a tool of psychological warfare used by the then Roman emperor, Constantine, to get the Jews to stop causing trouble and love their Roman overlords.

“This move by the Romans made Christians to believe in a new deity called Jesus, a celestial being subordinate to God.”

Rev. Bempah conceded there are many contradictions in the Bible due to translation but that he knows the truth and is all out to liberate humanity.

According to Rev. Bempah, the real son of God is called Yeshua Hamashiach and not Jesus Christ as many Christian leaders want their followers to believe.

“Yeshua Hamashiach was given birth to by a woman on earth and was crucified by Plato and rose from the grave the third day into the skies with the hope that he will return same as prophesied by angels.

He is called the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Jesus Christ is not the name of the son of God. There was this man who came called Nero who was killing the followers of Jesus’ Christians who were not even called Christians but Nazarenes,” he opined.

He added that miracles happen when pastors mention the name of Jesus because they operate with the spirit of Yeshua HaMashiach, stressing that Yeshua HaMashiach is the name forever known in Heaven, and must thus be accepted by all, especially believers on Earth.

Liberian President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, was in Imo state yesterday, and a statue of her was unveiled in the state. Not only that, the Governor, Okorocha named a road after her, and also crowned her with a chieftaincy title.

Now, Sirleaf has reacted to the honor and love she got in Imo state, she says she hopes her statue which was built by the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, will serve as an inspiration to young girls and women in Nigeria and Africa that they can reach their potential.

The Harvard graduate who is the first female president in Africa while acknowledging the statue after its unveiling, said;

“I hope that this statue and the other honors I received today, would serve as a great aspiration to the young girls, to the women, to know that we can reach our potentials. We can achieve our dreams. We can stand tall among the many women of the world in providing the kind of exemplary leadership that will lift us up to stand, as I stand to represent women”.

If there is one thing that Mrs. B. regrets most in her life, it is the day she walked into the Royal Heritage Church, Mafoluku, Lagos, for the first time.

Shortly after that day, with her teenage daughter in tow, she approached the pastor of the church, Tunde Daniel, a man in his 50s with two wives, and sought his spiritual help on the girl’s plan to become a model.

Mrs. B. told Saturday PUNCH that the pastor had told her he could make a super model out of the girl.

Because of the sensitivity of this case, Saturday PUNCH decided to keep the family anonymous.

But Mrs. B. said the moment she approached the pastor for help was the day she lost control of her daughter, who is now 16 years old. For more than a year, Mrs. B said she was struggling to get a grip of her life and win her daughter back from the hold Pastor Daniel allegedly had on her.

From that moment on began a relationship that allegedly snowballed into a sexual slavery for Mrs. B’s daughter.

According to her, it got to a point that if she gave her daughter an instruction, her obedience would depend on whether the pastor agreed or not.

The girl would occasionally visit the married pastor at his 8, Owolabi Street, Mafoluku, Lagos.

Mrs. B said, “My daughter suddenly became distant and she no longer listened to me. Then, one day, she ran away from home. I was at my shop when she ran away and her siblings were with me in the shop.

“I got home and was expecting to see her. I became worried after a few hours, but I still did not see her. Neighbours also could not tell me where she was.

“It was while searching everywhere for her that I noticed the money I kept in the house had gone.

“I tried to call Pastor Daniel but could not reach him on the phone and I went to his house. When I got there, I was told he was not around and for four days, my daughter was missing.

“Few days later, Pastor Daniel brought her back home in the evening. When I asked where she had been, she ignored me and when I asked the pastor, he shouted at me.”

Mrs. B. warned her daughter to stay away from the pastor but all she got in response was the rebuff.

According to her, Tunde continued to meet with the girl in secret.

Mrs. B. explained that unknown to her, the sexual abuse her daughter allegedly suffered in the hands of the pastor started in 2016 when the girl was still 15.

“She said that anytime she went to school, Pastor Daniel would pick her up there and take her to a hotel.

“One day in late February, 2017, I got a call from a hospital that said my daughter was in a critical condition. I did not know how she ended up in the hospital. At that time, I had lost control over her totally.

“When I got there, I was told that she had appendicitis and that an emergency surgery must be conducted to save her life. We were asked to look for N368,000. I called her father who was abroad, to inform him of the case and we quickly paid the money.

“It was when I saw the surgical scar that I became alarmed and I started petting her and told her to tell me what was going on. That was when she said that the pastor had impregnated her and that what I thought was the removal of her appendicitis was indeed abortion.

“I wanted to faint. I quickly confronted the doctors at the hospital and they told me that she was brought in by Pastor Daniel, who prevailed on them to say it was appendicitis. They said she had lost a fallopian tube. They said they were only concerned about saving her life.”

The hospital in question is High Rocks Hospital located on 8, Afariogun Street, Charity Area, Oshodi-Isolo.

However, the apprehensive Mrs. B., who could no longer handle the matter on her own, contacted the Child Protection Network in Oshodi, who took over the case.

The Coordinator of CPN in Isolo and Ejigbo, Mr. Ebenezer Omejalile, explained that further investigation on the case showed that Daniel’s ministry was reputed as one dedicated to preying on both innocent girls and married women.

According to him, after the CPN took over the case and it was reported at the Makinde Police Division, Oshodi, Daniel tried to turn the case against the victim’s family and reported at the anti-kidnapping unit of the Lagos State Police Command that Mrs. B. colluded with some officers at the Makinde Police Division to kidnap him and force him to part with money.

“The pastor threatened the investigating police officer in charge of the case. He was so confident that nothing was going to happen on the matter. I realised that it was necessary for the Commissioner of Police to hear about the matter, so I wrote a petition to the CP on the matter.

“The woman called him ‘father in the Lord’ and trusted him with her daughter. Most shocking was the part that the girl had lost a fallopian tube. When we interrogated the girl further, we realised that the pastor had given her some drugs to abort the pregnancy, which led to the complications.”

Omejalile said his petition to the Lagos CP was to explain why the case was not a kidnap case as claimed by Daniel, but one that bordered on gross sexual abuse and child endangerment.

Meanwhile, to prevent further contact between the girl and Daniel, the girl’s family took her away to the South-East to stay with her grandmother.

During her stay in their hometown, Saturday PUNCH learnt that the family concluded that the pastor might have put the girl under a spell.

“She kept repeating that she wanted to have sexual intercourse with Pastor Daniel. We did our best to break her from the curse,” a family member said on condition of anonymity.

They did not divulge further steps taken to break her free from the purported spell.

However, after months on the case, Omejalile’s petition to the Lagos CP finally yielded results on Tuesday, November 7. Daniel, who had been walking the streets as a free man since the case was reported at the Makinde Police Division, was invited at the Gender Unit of the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters. He was subsequently detained as investigation and interrogation went on.

At the police headquarters, the girl, who was brought back from the East to give a statement, made more startling revelations.

Omejalile, who was present at the time said, “The girl said that anytime they had sex, he always recorded it. This is why we are worried at this point because we do not want such videos finding their way to the public. The girl said that he had a box in his room where he kept videos from different sexual encounters. The police said they would go and search his room soon.”

He explained that when they went to invite the pastor in company with policemen from the command headquarters, the girl was the one used as a bait.

Omejilale said, “We told her to put the phone on speaker and when the girl called him, he said he would like to see her and that he missed her. The girl said she could not come to his house but could meet him at work.

“The pastor works as a software engineer in a company at Oshodi. As soon as the girl got to his office, the pastor’s colleagues started greeting her as ‘Pastor Daniel’s daughter’. It was clear they were familiar with her. He was then informed that he was wanted at the police headquarters. He thought he could escape by placing a call to the policemen at the anti-kidnapping unit, whom he had reported to earlier. But he was told that he was being invited at the police headquarters by higher authority.”

Saturday PUNCH learnt that while being questioned at the police headquarters, the girl revealed that Daniel took her on a flight to Abuja at a point.

Mrs. B was asked why she was not aware of all these and how her daughter could embark on such long journeys without her knowledge, but the distraught mother said it was part of the reasons why she said she lost control of her daughter.

The pastor is still being detained by the police.

Meanwhile, the CPN has said once the prosecution of Daniel was underway, it would begin efforts in ensuring that the doctor at High Rocks Hospital, who carried out the abortion was investigated.

When Saturday PUNCH spoke with the head of the hospital, Dr. Femi Oloyede, an associate professor, he explained that the pastor brought the girl to his facility, claiming to be her guardian.

He said, “The man (Daniel) brought in the girl with ectopic pregnancy (development of foetus in fallopian tube) and we saved her. He said the girl was impregnated by her boyfriend. Our records are there to show what she was treated for. Who impregnated her was not the hospital’s concern. I was summoned when she was brought in and noticed she was in a very bad shape. She had to be resuscitated. I then said there was nothing we could do if her parents were not present even if he was the guardian as he claimed.

“The pastor then contacted the mother and she came in. We told her what was wrong with her daughter immediately. When we told them to make a deposit so we conduct an urgent surgery, they declined saying they were taking her to their regular hospital.

“I wrote them a referral and they left. They later came back in the evening when the girl’s situation had worsened. They had to beg me to come from home to attend to her. We did the operation and she took about three pints of blood within a space of three hours. She was bleeding inside. She was even on admission for some days after the surgery. If anything was ever in doubt, a responsible parent would have asked.”

Oloyede said the age of the pregnancy could not be immediately determined but said he believed it must have been about six weeks old.

He also said there was no evidence that there had been an attempt to abort the pregnancy but that the victim’s fallopian tube ruptured as a result of the ectopic pregnancy.

The doctor explained that he would be happy to assist the police in their investigation.

The spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Mr. Olarinde Famous-Cole, who confirmed that Daniel was still in custody and being quizzed, said the doctor would be invited.

He said, “The investigation will definitely involve the hospital. The pastor has made some confessional statements.

“Investigation is ongoing to determine where and when each of the alleged acts took place.Investigators would be conducting a search on the house of the pastor also.”
