Today we go back in time to a memorable quote by Chief Gani Fawehinmi (of blessed memory). This is a famous statement made by the legal luminary regarding the appointment of an Igbo officer as the IG of Police. He made this statement at a time he was on a sick bed in London -United Kingdom shortly before his demise:
“The Nigeria Police is virtually present everywhere in Nigeria and in the urban and rural areas across the country. It is the most visible to the Nigerians and non-Nigerians of all the security apparatii of the country. But the leadership of this Force has consciously or deliberately eluded the Igbos who constitute one of the three largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. I consider the exclusion of Igbos from the leadership of the Police as unfair, unjust and unconstitutional.”
