Anti-Graft War: Ex-CP Wants Buhari To Deploy Spies To Ministers

A retired top police officer, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to attach spies to all public officers to mitigate corruption in Nigeria.
Tsav told newsmen at the weekend in Makurdi, that the Federal Government should urgently stop security personnel from working with public officers beyond two years.
He said the first way to fight corruption was to ensure regular redeployment of officers attached to public officers and attachment of spies to checkmate their activities.
Tsav, a former commissioner of police in Lagos, said lengthy attachment of security personnel with public officers was greatly encouraging corruption and criminality in the country following their familiarity with them.
“Government should attach spies to all public officers. I remember many years back when we were still in the service when you are attached to any public officer to work with; you go there not only as security personnel but also as a spy.
“When you see anything that is wrong, you report to headquarters. But this time, I don’t know, but it looks like some of them are accomplices.
“Some of them join the conspiracy to commit crimes. This will reduce corruption and criminality in our country,” Tsav said.
The former commissioner in the Federal Public Complaint Commission also said that organisers of “RevolutionNow” had committed treasonable offense, adding that they did not even have enough grounds to call for a revolution in the first place.
He said Nigerians needed to be very cautious of self acclaimed activists and liberation fighters to avoid leading the country into chaos.
“First of all, a revolution is an attempt to take over a government of the day by force and it is completely different from demonstration.
“When you embark on a revolution you want to change that government and that will entail loss of lives and property.
