-Police ordered to declare assets -The compliance level of officers has reportedly been low

The wave of asset declaration has found its
way into the Nigerian police as men of the
force have been ordered by the federal
government to declare their asses.
President Muhammadu Buhari and his vice,
Yemi Osinbajo began their administration by
declaring their asset in a gesture of
transparency and this this has moved to other
government parastatal with the police force
being the latest one.
Nigerian Tribune reports that the offices of the
Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) expressed
satisfaction at the level of compliance shown
by the customs service but expressed
displeasure at the non-compliance of the
police.
A CCB official who spoke on the condition of
anonymity said that although the level of
compliance by senior police officers had been
satisfactory, the rank and file had been largely
defiant, apparently unaware of the legal
implication of their attitude.
It was reported that the CCB has written
commissioners of police to warn them of the
implication of their men’s refusal to declare
their assets.
However, the 14 day deadline given by the
comptroller general of the Nigeria Customs
Service to officers to declare their assets may
be flouted by some men of the service.
