Nigeria's Inspector General of Police
(IGP), Mr Solomon Arase, has advised both the officers and rank and file
members of police in the country to desist from marrying more wives resulting
into an enlarged family structure.
The police boss said this while addressing
officers and men of Ekiti State Command, during his visit to the state on
Friday morning.
Arase, who also inaugurated a housing
scheme for police inspectors and rank and file members of the police force,
charged that "they should bear only the number of children they can cater
for."
In his words: "Stop marrying too many
wives. Bear only the number of children you can cater for. Some of you have
wives in your commands but when you are transfered, you arrive in your new
commands and marry another wife and start a new family there. This is mostly
among the men and I think you should stop."
Responding on behalf of Ekiti State police
command the Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr Etop John James, lamented dearth of
personnel in the state.
He said enormous number of rank and file
have been moved from Ekiti command without replacements and asked the IGP to
make it a law that there won't be transfer unless a commensurate replacement is
accompanying it.
