Nigeria's Police spends $3 million importing dogs

Nigeria’s police chief said that the West African country had spent more than 600 million naira ($3 million) on importing police dogs in recent years.

Solomon Arase, the Nigerian inspector general of police, was speaking on Thursday following the opening of a breeding center for police dogs in the capital Abuja, according to the Nigeria Police Force Twitter account. Arase said that the expenditure was “certainly not sustainable in the face of the current dwindling resources,” according to Premium Times. Arase said that the new center could supply police dogs to the entire West Africa region and could breed up to 200 dogs per year. Nigeria’s Interior Minister Abdulrahman Dambazau said that the breeding center would be of huge assistance to Nigeria’s police force in “counterterrorism operations,” and will help the immigration service with patrolling Nigeria’s borders.
