End SARS: We buy bullets, magazines ourselves, stations underfunded – Police officer claims

A Superintendent of the Nigeria Police Force has made some damning revelations about the law enforcement agency.

The officer who previously worked with the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, said officers are forced to source for bullets and magazines used in discharging their duties themselves. “Bullets and magazines especially all those tactical squads buy their bullets and magazines. The authorities just give them guns but the officers are the ones that will buy their bullets and magazines.

He also lamented that the welfare of police officers is very poor, stressing that they are not taken into consideration by the federal government.

Please where do you buy bullets from? Who's your dealer? And how come you can afford to waste bullets you used your hard earned money for, on innocent unarmed citizens? Make it make sense.

Stupid government we have...🤦🏽‍♂️

Who's selling it to them, where are they buying it? They should answer those questions

Someone uses his money to buy bullets and you think he will use such to protect u? The truth is,If he doesn't abduct and extort u, he won't be able to recover his money! I believe the Police affairs minister & the IGP should have some questions to answer on this!

Since am nt gettin help for a job. Pls som1 shud help me wit a car 2 start taxi work I was doing b4 I gt d job I lost. Am ready to sign all documents for hire purchase condition. Am never asking for money pls. Evn if it's old model car,I would accept it n remit money wkly. RT

Buying from who? PoliceNG

Good from Nigeria police. According to whitenigerian Always think of what you can do for your country. Let the youth emulate them 👌🏾👌🏾

Imagine this

Tell your boss

No wonder the are just killing people at will

It is true because i have one friend that is police, anything concern police they buy it by themselves that they can't stop collecting bribe, police need to reform

Una dey buy from Balogun market or where?

From which market are they buying these bullet magazines. Do we have stores where magazines are sold. Is it online or from black market purchases. This claim speaks volumes and requires further investigation. There may be a criminal gang swindling us.

gbemy01 Please ask them where they buy bullets and magazines from.

How can our Nigeria Police be buyinh some things like Bullets & Magazines by themselves? NGRPresident NGRSenate HouseNGR DrAhmadLawan femigbaja NGPoliceForce Why? So there is no monitoring on these Arms? Where are they buying them from?

So is that the reason why you shoot armless civilians

I have known and complained about this for ages

PoliceNG should stop the pity games please. If the stations are underfunded, then Soro Soke or even join the protest so your superiors know what's really happening instead of suffering and smiling or taking out on innocent civilians

We have irresponsible leaders.

From which market?

Sellers

And use them to kill innocent youths, so what now?

My brothers it may hard to believe, but that is a confirm story.

From where do they buy these items themselves

From who?

But from where?

Edakun, Who do they buy bullet from?

police can't protest against govt or against their superior its called mutiny and anyone caught will be dismiss, police is grossly underfunded and the senior officers are not helping matters, DPO will give orders to patrol he will ask you to source for fuel and make returns

They never complain!. Why?

Yeeppaa! Buy bullets? From who? This country needs total realignment, readjustment, overhauling. Walahi!

You buy them with extorted money!!!!! 🙄

I no sure say e cost that na why una Dey use am anyhow

Imagine! Who do you buy the guns and bullets from? And why do you have to waste them on innocent citizens? Instead of protesting for your own welfare you're busy wracking havoc and protecting those that has taken away ur rights Seriously this country needs serious restructuring!

Just to waste it on innocent citizens

Please could you tell us where the police buy bullets from

My own question is, who are they defending with the bullets they buy with their money? Because if you call them for any robbery case they won't show up, but this same bullet they buy, they use in shooting and killing innocent people.They should carry the guns empty if govt wont

This bullets are still used on innocent people right?

If they can buy bullets from police commands and the NDA, then it is highly plausible, especially with poor record keeping, that Boko Haram and other criminal elements are buying their arms and ammunition from the government

ReformTheNigeriaPolice SIMPLE 💯

Where una dey buy am please.

No wonder you can fire at innocent citizens free with no remuse

Who are the people selling bullets & magazines to these killers?

PoliceNG Abeg, na for where & who una dey buy bullet from?

Pure reason why they won't stop collecting money on the road

How send to buy bullet and magazine by your self?ReformTheNigeriaPolice

Then u are a criminal then

This guys should come and join EndSars

True! I heard this years ago. It is disgusting that the government has allowed this to happen. There needs to be a reform from top to bottom. For goodness sake, why should police officers be buying their own uniforms?!

They should join the protest and stop complaining EndSARS

Then come out and protest

Please let them tell us where we can buy these things since the government has failed to provide them for us.

where do you buy from!

what is the police officer's name? stop spreading unverified information.

No wonder the bullets are used anyhow. how can officers account for the bullets used when the force do not provide them with bullets.

You definitely need personal bullets to go for robbery operations. Reasons why you guys hustle so hard to make your money back in multiple folds.

I'm confused! Is there open market for ammunition in Nigeria?

what? can this source be confirmed.

Where do you buy the bullets from ? Black market?

Keep buying until u r wise

The government is the one undefunding you yet it’s we the innocent citizens you kill. Why not mete your displeasures on them - unless of course you’re benefiting from the whole charade. 🤦‍♂️

Buy? From who?

, I'm sure the officer said those words in pidgin

I think the police are confused

Lmfao

Please where are they buying the bullets and magazines

This will always occurred, corruption at the top to the last officers. Our population growth is above our income even if we are ready to.

I bought wall clock for my class as a teacher when proprietress no free buy. Bcos of that I no turn the hand of time to come late

What are they waiting for? They should just protest once and for all.

Whet?!😦

It's very bad of the government not doing well for the NPF but that shouldn't make you inhumane. You bought bullets yourself and use it to kill your fellow man. The bad of the government doesn't justify your own bad.

That’s why they use the bullets for robbery

Shey na from Jumia una dey buy am?

You see where corruption started, if Govt don't buy artilleries for them, how will they cover their experiences if not by descending on the innocent citizens? And same police went and shot those protesting for police salary increase. Are you still proud of Nigeria

Can you imagine

Then why are you still in the job.

Who do you buy the bullets from?

They buy bullets n magazines from armed robbers

SDNdu_ So bullets are available in the black market...?

This guy is holding war machine 😭💀

PoliceNG you re defunct in the Nigeria System!!!

Ah where do you buy the bullets from?

You buy bullets, from who exactly?

So the small one they buy, must they use it to kill innocent Nigerians? How did we come to value life as nothing in this country 🥺

Let them join the protest.

Must they always hold the trigger? That is why they always lie on 'accidental discharge'. BUNCH OF UNPROFESSIONALS! Tueh! EndSARS EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria EndSARS

So where do they buy? Who do they buy from? 😂

Something jeffphilips1 has been saying since 1900.

Where do you buy them if the govt is not providig them? PoliceNG

FaladeJumi Another question pls...where do they buy the bullet from?

But bullets where, haaaaa

Who is the seller Do they have license to sell So many questions come to mind

Shame on u for not speaking up for yourself. And bigger shame on u for using that as an excuse. No excuse.

Bullets must be cheap

Who are the sellers of the magazines and bullets?

So because your stations are underfunded is the reason You kill innocent Nigerians?.

who do they buy bullets from ?

Yet, you 'waste' them on innocent citizens. One would expect that your are 'prudent' with those bullets since you bought them with your money. Well, that's why we protest! Join us and let the government do the right thing! Nigeria will be great!

Buy bullets from who, IGP?

They still buy uniform for themselves, that I can confirm.

But then you vent your anger on d wrong set

Agreed totally

SupremoFela I know a police officer that buys his own uniform and shoes, he also use his personal car to fight criminals, in their station no workable vehicle and he normally say they cant complain or he might loss his job!!

But you re killing protesters that are agitating for your warefare

Does that justify extrajudicial killings?

Oh reason they carry POS with them on their illegal patrol 😁😁😁😁

PoliceNG PoliceNG_CRU we deserve explanations... You must explain to us why your agency is allegedly so corrupt. How will you subject fathers, brothers and sons of Nigerians to such inhumane conditions. nassnigeria femigbaja you must call the IG to explain. This is sad!!

Buy from Who? Nsogbu di

'We also get these items from NDA, military, and any place necessary'.......the last part of that sentence is the loudest part of it

Is that supposed to be justification for shooting at unarmed civilians at will? 🙄

Then they should join EndSARS because it’s also for them!

1. So how do they get the money to buy the bullets since they are gravely under paid? 2. Where do they buy the bullets from?

You buy bullets really?

Shouldn’t that be reason enough not to misuse it?

From whom are the police buying their weapons?

What do you need bullets and magazines for during a peace Protest What

Have been wondering why bullets are not properly checked in and out. Really just given uniform by the IG like tout to exhort and remitt.

My issue with them is why don't they complain and even protest nationwide until their demands are met? They stayed silent and poured their useless frustration on innocent people. If all of them come together and tell the govt they aren't working until something is done,will daydi

yet you had enough bullets to shoot at peaceful protesters...

Abeg na who dey sell Bullet give Nigerian Officers? BashirAhmaad Your Police Officers buy their own bullets. Have you all seen how useless your Govt is?

The Police Commission Is Filled With Criminals. Imagine Police Officers buying bullets and magazines. What kind of country is these we living in? Nigeria is a failed nation !!!

Where do you buy them from? Hmmm. EndSARS Endcorruption

So they plan to use big guns on Nigerian citizens and not boko Haram. Interesting

Yeah, they have to make profits. 😂😂😂

This is a dirty lie... false information

'No Nigerian is more Nigerian than any Nigerian' – Aisha Yesufu EndSARS EndOyigboMassacre EndOyigboMassacre

Buying bullets from who?

We all know this nah. Who use him money buy bullets no go do business?

Buy bullets from where?

Then, they take out their frustrations on the wrong people instead of those making a hell of their lives.

Police is buying bulllet and magazine from where?

That's the sad reality

Where dem dey buy from abeg

Who do they buy bullets from Let us know

We gather dey suffer at the hands of this government... Una dey channel una frustration to the wrong people But u already know this so spare me the tears

ifiee

Buy from where?

PoliceNG if you are buying weapons by yourself, please from who oo?

From where?

....wait, u buy bullets yourselves from who?

With bribe money 💰

Then you should take the case up with your leaders. Join the fight for a better government. EndBadGovernanceinNIGERIA

And still una no wan get sense. This is the time to face the problem no the citizens who are fighting for you and your children.

What do you expect when we have careless and failed government who don't even have a heart for the nation

We told you that this fight is for you, but you'd rather obey them and kill us.

Police don dey soro soke small

Is it so hard for things to work well in Nigeria I really feel sad for this officers they r humans they deserve better pay

FoxNews espn ESPNPR ABC AriseTVAmerica nytimes NYDailyNews nypost AlJazeera AljazeeraDoc cnnbrk bbcquestiontime cnni

Well you should have joined the protest

Buy from who?

A bank gaurd gets more than a constable in the police

mr_urchmanjoe Buy bullets from who?

Yet use the bullet anyhow on innocent citizens, go around picking up innocent citizens and packing them in your underfunded facilities and more

GhostOfEcstasy Yet people dey spend millions in the name of newspaper allowance

This is disturbing. No wonder they shoot and kill at will since they know that won't account for the expended bullets. The entire police force needs reform by the government and they must make funding their priority

Must you buy bullet?

So because you buy bullets yourselves y’all decided to take on the citizens while not channel that to the federal government if stations are underfunded

GhostOfEcstasy so it’s the young masses that will suffer? Thunder kill them! Sars operatives drive Benz n wear gold WeMustVoteWithBVN

GhostOfEcstasy Then Take it with your superior not innocent youth in the streets.

Imagine paying(from extortion) for the bullet they will use to shoot your family members.

Nigeria is so confused.

Why dem no join protest? Dem no hear english?

Buy bullets yourselves? From the Police armourer or..........

Buy bullets from who?

Malik_MO7 Una no fit buy rubber bullets?

They buy from soldiers.

Badbanky This one na lie jare.. Police no dey buy bullets for Dem selves... Na teargas, cloth, shoe, and car petrol Dem dey buy for Dem selves...

So if the PoliceNG officers buy their own guns and bullets, who is selling it to them... and for people who are in poverty, why are they wasting bullets on innocent people?!

Usonwaa From where

Buy bullets from who? 🤨

Armourers are selling ammunition that they ought to be accountable for. If they sell to their own force, you just know they are selling to the other side too.

And you now turn those scarce bullets on innocent civilians.

Oh you mean that is the justification of terrorising your citizens so as to make returns on the money, shameless I say..

This man need to be probe... Where do they buy bullets?

nudavid09 From who?

Huh?buy bullets from who

itzjefe_ From where actually, since Guns are not legalised. Ammunitions and magazines should be in the care of a unit of the security forces and given out on the authority of a body, but no Nigeria.

They should protest if they think they deserve better and not unleash their grieve on citizens. We sef dey suffer. We are giving them a life changing opportunity to join EndSARS EndBadGoveranceInNigeria.

Awon wereyyyyy EndSARS

Bullet wey dem still dey waste...small misunderstanding like dis,dem don release one or two for up. Mtcheeew!!

That is not a good reason for you to steal from the citizens you swore to serve and protect EndSARS EndSarsProtests EndPoliceBrutalityinNigera EndMilitaryBrutality EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeraNOW

Who do you buy bullets and magazines from? 🧐🤔

Such useless entities, Does that translate to using those bullets on citizens? Instead of staging protests to make their demands known. They back down on citizens whom tax payer money braces them and those unfortunate Murderers in agbada.

But from which dealer/s do you normally buy from?

Dear police officer, and you are still working? Instead of you to come out n say it before now. You are mad!

the police are suffering in this country.can you believe they pay them 500 for COVID9 special duty. and my lost their lives during this period

nelson_ozy Everything is underfunded but people don't carry guns about killing people because of that

That's why you turn yourselves to criminals, kidnappers and murderers.

From who/where 😳

jarex2_official Does that justify their killing?

Wait fess... Who do they buy the said ammunitions from?

Buy from who? Who sells bullets and magazines for our police when we budget Millions of naira for them yearly. EndSARS is really exposing a lot of corrupt practices.

Buy from who?

Makes all the sense as to why they won't uphold the rule of law.

If they are selling bullets to the police, bet they are selling guns and bullets to the populace. Armed robbers in disguise

They should have joined the Protest honestly

ovigho Buy from where & from whom? At whose expense, personal funds or govt sponsored? PoliceNG

Who's your plug? PoliceNG

That's not enough reason for you to unleash mayhem on those you're to protect. EndSARS EndBadGovernanceinNIGERIA

The police officers will soon turn on the government. Just watch.

Hey Gawd!! Buy bullets from who?!? Na akara and potatoes?!

This is like a criminal saying he os stealing because he doesn't have a job. There is no excuse for their evil acts.

jarex2_official No wonder that they waste the bullets anyhow. They don’t account for it to anyone.

You buy bullets and magazines yourselves,but the people you feel you can take your anger out on is the people who work to pay your salaries? See why i dont pity these policemen,ol people with misplaced priorities

Then protest

Efe0125 Kindly retweet this & I ll follow you ASAP, pls follow me back *We buy used diesel Generator Perkins Cummins Lister Peter's Danyo If you ve any whattsapp the pictures to us for negotiation. We sell used Generators too 12.5kva -2500kva 08038236695

They're mistreating you but the people who should fight for you are the ones you're killing, lmao.. Clown move

Instead of you guys to join us in protest you're shooting at us. Aren't u people cursed. You don't want to better yourselves ni?

The appropriate question for me is where do they buy the bullet from and who is the seller? Bullet is not bread.

But these guys are mad o, buy bullets yourselves? Abeg from who?

And somehow you decide to use it on innocent civilians.

AdemolaHOA My HOD buys fuel for the department generator. He doesn't kill anyone after!!! Education is also underfunded and they still deliver.

Buy from who

And yet when we come out to protest for reforms that would better the quality of your lives, they send you to kill us with the same bullets you bought with your own money after they've embezzled the money meant for your equipments. And you idiots carry out the order!!!

iykebufo That's double sin. Well calculated murderers.

It is true that we get stories of humongous budget allocated to the police top hierarchy for the whole force annually BUT does it really trickle down? Do these gallant men get their dues as intended by d spirit of d budget? Is there anyway to monitor to ensure it gets to d them?

EndBadGoveranceInNigeria

I empathise with d common policeman on d street and at d station. The excruciating conditions under which they operate breeds an element of monstrosity in them. No money for pen, for file,for photocopy,for fuel etc.Are we really fair to expect d best from them? Be sincere.

You're on twitter and we ain't following each other, o wrong now, common. Let's grow together. Ifb ASAP Red heartRed heart❤❤

Reason why they extort from everyone. Too bad

Because it’s profitable to you guys, how can say this nonsense and u expecting someone with their brain not to ask you where you are getting those stuff from. Vampires in UNIFORMS. ENDSARS

Lies..nobody will sell ammunitions and magazines to an individual but you can your uniform except the person is a criminal

And you use the same bullets on unarmed citizens instead of preserving for better use

From who?

Where do they buy from? This is a very important question we should be asking

They should just join the second wave of EndSARS protests and stop complaining like we are not suffering too 😂

Buy bullets from who? Isn't that illegal? Is the seller accredited? By who? Are the bullets traceable back to the dealer? EndSARS

Please where do you buy from I want to check something for someone

Source: I no fit lie u

Who do you buy from😏 soro soke

You buy from who

If you buy bullets ourselves, I don’t think you would want to waste it by ending people’s lives anyhow. You only waste what you didn’t work hard for

Where do they buy it from?

Abeg.. Make dem give us their bullet plug I need like 5000 bullets

And you empty them in to innocent Nigerians Ee ni ku re

Carry placards enter road.

Please, the problem is with the police hierarchy, it is not that the government does not fund it. Read the story and you'll understand that it is the corruption in the police that is responsible. The idea is 'you must give something before you get something'.

Tesidorth Take your complaints to the govt then; at least you have bullets, you can shoot back at those zombies called HQNigerianArmy when they come massacre you!

They are not buying only bullets and magazines, they also buy their uniforms and shoes. Police are not being taking care of. Even when they lose their lives, their families suffers most. If they are being well paid, they won't commit crime or take bribe.

Buy from who Please.?

Buy from who and why buy with your money

Where is the police trust fund... Hit the streets mofos, protest for your right!!

While EndSARS protest was meant to address the anomaly

Abeg where dem they buy am from... I need address

You buy bullet yourself and use it to kill Nigeria the innocent soul the youth

They buy bullets from where please?

It is not the citizens fault. Yet you murder them and extort them. Una no fit do am to the very government officials wey dey oppress everybody. Oya go and Protest your bosses 🤷🏽‍♀️

Let follow each other and make a good relationship

This is a clear example that portrays our society and mentality today. We rather fund destruction than to build a solution. Prison Over schools. Pay huge money for personal security than to bring civilization to the people. Las las it will all end in BOOMERANG.

Police should do der own peaceful demonstration concerning that,they should not suffer d masses nova d government failed them

I can’t take this particular headline serious 😃😃 “we buy bullets ourselves” From who? How? When? How much? A lot of unanswered questions.

‘We buy bullets , magazines ourselves ,stations underfunded’ nobody asked where they buy from ? 😁... from criminals or ....?

How many bullets I fit get for ₦100

Question is where do you then buy the bullets from? Will I be allowed to buy a gun from there without harassment? Excuse upon excuses and they don’t linkup at all. Who or what establishments is selling bullets to individual policemen? Meaning they can’t be tracked. Simple!

PoliceNG PoliceNG_CRU U have a msg.

Hold your government responsible!... They have failed you all.

Buy from who?

Abeg who Nigerian Police they buy bullet from? So na only shelves they inside Armory

Seems like a 'police rascality' cover up ploy 2 me. Y haven't the police ever protested unfair treatment because that's the ideal thing to do. This police outcry just started surfacing after the endsars protest. Govt need take police welfare serious but y'all need reform still!

Where do you buy bullets and ammo from Black Market?

You buy them because of evils you intended to inflict on innocent people.

What's this?

Keep working

That complaint should go to the people you are working for. They're this unkind to you yet you do as though you share the loot with them. Police is part of Nigeria problem aside politicians.

Where is the source of the money for buying bullets and magazines. Why buying these ones?

If govt gives you right to secure bullet yourself....... That explain the reason why there are lot of criminal activities among dirty officer. Meanwhile you deserve better treatment from govt

Which means the Authority really wants you guys to steal if what you are saying is true. All will be well. The police budget will be monitored, all eyes is on the police welfare.

so who do u buy from

That can't be correct, is bullets sold on counter? Exaggeration. However, police deserves better funding.

Just watch IGP go start to pursue this one na,

Or you bought them from the money you collect from the road...

That's %100 correct,and it's only natural for them to want to recoup their investment like every other business people, and it's only by oppressing those that they are meant to protect.

They should provide the sellers

True talk

You buy bullets yourselves, that's why you use it anyhow...

Jesus is Lord! Is there anything our politicians do? At least they should be good at one thing. Just one!!! 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀

Is this why you have been extorting Nigerian citizens? Why didn't you people PoliceNG complain to the NigeriaGov?

Trust me that’s how major agencies of the country work

PoliceNG PoliceNG_CRU ProfOsinbajo nassnigeria NigeriaGov

This would account for the need to recover their “investments”

Omo!!! This country ehn 🤦🏽‍♂️

Is a lie..
