The Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade (rtd), Monday spent the greater part of his day answering questions on the rot at the Police Training College, Ikeja, Lagos, which was brought to the public’s attention after a Channels Television documentary trailer on the college was broadcast last week.
The documentary had forced President Goodluck Jonathan to pay an unscheduled visit to the college last Friday, the first of such visits by a sitting president to the 73-year-old college.
Olubolade’s visit to the villa coincided with the reaction of the House of Representatives, which blamed the decay at the police college on long periods of neglect by the authorities and poor funding.
A senior aide to the minister, who did not want to be named, confirmed that Olubolade was summoned to the Presidential Villa to respond to issues bordering on the welfare of the police force and its recruits at its colleges.
