Inspector General of Police Solomon Arase today, launched the new Supernumerary Police Uniform (SPY) in Port Harcourt, Rivers state. Speaking at the event, IGP Arase said; “The concept of Supernumerary Police draws from Sec. 18 of the Nigeria Police Act which provides guidelines for their establishment and also grants them the powers, privileges and immunities of police officers, but as limited to area in respect of which they are appointed and in any police area adjacent thereto, but not elsewhere.
In essence, therefore, SPY Police are engaged for specific security functions within a restricted jurisdiction or operational space.

will it stop them from collecting bribe...The problem with Nigeria police is not the uniform..These people represent some of the most incompetent and corrupt professional anywhere in the world...In a country where you can walk up to any police officer ,give them money and tell them to arrest anybody you want...You can even have yourself arrested for the fun of it..They have no knowledge of the law,how to interpret and enforce it..complete bunch of useless people
