Tiger Base Leak: Is Police Reform Being Sabotaged?

The Inspector-General deployed DIG Margaret Ochalla to Imo State to enforce professionalism and protect detainees. But credible reports say Tiger Base operatives got advance notice of the unscheduled inspection. Cells were hurriedly cleared, effectively hiding detainees held in alleged inhuman conditions. This suggests elements within the Force may be sabotaging oversight. The IGP must treat this leak as potential obstruction, not routine indiscipline. A targeted probe should identify who tipped off Tiger Base and why. At the same time, the core allegations—shooting of detainees, extortion claims, and possible collusion with local vigilantes—demand independent, transparent investigation. Without true accountability, Nigeria Police reform risks becoming mere rhetoric.
