Reacting, Oby Ezekwesili in tweet which she illustrated with a meme, described the news as "TIRING".
"My 2 year old self reacting to TIRING "news" of IGP .@PoliceNG 's "withdrawal" of our Police officers that Politicans & their friends in private sector & society have turned to personal body guards, Gatemen/women, handbag carriers and houseboys/girls etc.
"How we took one of the MOST IMPORTANT institutions of ANY country - The Police- and DEGRADED it so BADLY is a tragedy that birth our many other calamities in this country. I find myself feeling so sorry for the DECENT officers amongst our .@PoliceNG . They SUFFER FOR NOTHING."
"When WE - Citizens - Vote In an ETHICAL, COMPETENT and CAPABLE FG in 2019, the OVERHAUL of the .@PoliceNG to ENTRENCH effecticenss, professionalism and dignity must be one of the Top Priorities. Until then, let me yawn again at an announcement by IGP that WILL NOT BE ACTIONED."
