Police Recruits Accuse Bauchi Training School of Extorting ₦250,000 for Uniforms, Boots
Recruits at the Nigeria Police Force Training School in Yelwa, Bauchi, have alleged that they are being forced to pay up to ₦250,000 for uniforms, boots, and kits meant to be provided free of charge.
Some recruits, speaking anonymously, described the demand as an unbearable burden on their families, with many resorting to financial help from relatives or well-wishers. A lawyer, Barrister Lawal Ishaq, said a woman approached him for assistance after her son requested the payment from the school. He warned that such practices could encourage corruption among new officers.
The recruits also claimed that uniforms provided were substandard, forcing them to spend more on tailoring, while boots were often only issued after graduation.
However, the Commandant of the school, ACP Abdullahi Umar Tambuwal, dismissed the allegations as false, insisting all recruits receive free uniforms, kits, and meals. He assured that the claims would be investigated, warning that any officer found guilty of extortion would be sanctioned.
