This study was carried in one Southwestern State of Nigeria, therefore information obtained
only relies on interviews conducted with police personnel in this state supplemented with
information for journals, Nigeria newspapers and magazines, internet-based documented
source materials. The participant’s selection was based on convenience samples. The work
may therefore be guilty of inherent prejudices that may exist in the sources of information
utilized.
This author is therefore suggesting that conducting further in-depth questionnaire study to
control for validity and reliability of information. Perhaps, such study in the future may
involve police personnel from other states in different regions of the country. The police
agency representative(s) also need to be interviewed in order to verify some of the
documented information utilized in this work. This effort will not only buttress many of the
ideas and questions posed by this study, but may also contribute to improvement in the state
of policing in Nigeria towards goal of effectiveness.
