The response “85% of the officers are criminals” is not only an exaggerated generalization but also harmful to society’s trust in law enforcement. While it’s true that issues like extortion exist within the Nigerian police force, painting the majority of officers as criminals undermines the efforts of those genuinely committed to their duty. This sweeping accusation could discourage good officers and further erode public confidence in the system.

Rather than blanket criticism, constructive conversations around accountability and reform are more effective. Highlighting the need for systemic change encourages transparency while ensuring that honest officers get the support they need to serve the public.
