Nigeria Police Trust Fund Declares State of Emergency on Training School


By: Awajis Josiah-Chijindu
The police training school in Nonwa, Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State is in a pathetic state and the environment an eyesore.

 The shabby state of the school propelled the executive secretary of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund, NPTF, to call for a state of emergency on the campus when he visited.

When #awajisgeorgenews monitored the deplorable state of the school, it was observed that police officers living in the quarters, use buckets and plastic drums to shield their rooms from getting flooded from leaking roofs when it rains.

It was a disheartening moment for the executive secretary of the Nigeria police trust fund, NPTF, Mr. Mohammed Sheidu and his entourage as they were conducted round the deplorable state of the police training school in Nonwa Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The NPTF executive secretary who was speechless at the state of the school, noted that the environment is not conducive for training and wondered why the police training school in a State like Rivers State would still have a campus like that.
