Nigerians condemn Police as BBNaija’s Kiddwaya steps out with four escorts

The Nigeria Police has come under intense criticsm after a picture of BBNaija former housemate, Kiddwaya with its officers surfaced online.

Kiddwaya on Wednesday shared pictures on Instagram where he had about four police officers with guns as escorts.

This did not go down well with some Nigerians who slammed the Police for giving such security to a celebrity, while insecurity increases in many parts of the country.

TheNewsGuru recalls that the action is coming at a time when the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba ordered withdrawal of senior police officers from EFCC.

Below are some remarks gathered by TheNewsGuru from Twitter:

@Thepublicdefender “All the lies about withdrawing police personnel attached to private individuals.”

@YahayaNeutral “Nigerian Police is for the rich and famous, Not for ordinary Nigerians.In a country where we are complaining of been under police and lot of security challenges, we have four policemen guarding just an individual.”

@Berbzz “It’s a big shame. If you have money hire private security.”

@DJ_Sp4all “It seems the Nigerian Police system is a private security system which is operated by the Federal Government.The highest bidder takes all. No wonder the common man is not adequately served. It is a shame.”

@negromaniacs “Not his fault tho, the system that made this possible is to be blamed. NPF has no respect. Now imagine the number of personnel across the entire country doing same thing to protect dt he rich. Thousands that ought to combating crime. Even Miyetti Allah has too.”

@Psalm35_ “We have private securities in Nigeria, why are they not using them? VIPs can’t use the police in South Africa, they use private security.”

@Ladeepee “Do you know how much he is worth if he gets kidnapped? Abeg let him use 100 of them if he needs too. Prevention is better.”

@Martolerix “If kidnappers lay hands on him, do you know how much in dollars they will demand for? Abeg leave him to secure himself and his life in a country wey even police station use chain to lockdown their generator from thieves.”

@Dique_money “Oh boy, three military grade guns, three magazines (probably 1 extra each), hundreds of rounds of bullets to protect only one civilian.Something is wrong somewhere.”

@YolandaMny “The problem is not Kidd using a security company that hires policemen, it’s your government paying your police service so poorly that they need a side hustle. Stay focused, face Buhari.”

@Abazeesi “Why do you move with all these guards, fear of being kidnapped? Someone should explain because I don’t get?

@MrWick “I thought they said the new IG withdrew all policemen attached to VIPs, everything is just audio in this Nigeria.”
