| dc.description.abstract | Challenges confronting Nigeria police are many and enormous. Several studies have examined these challenges but failed to link them with how citizens rate them and with reasons citizens dislike Nigeria police. This study, therefore, investigated how citizens rated the challenges confronting Nigeria police and how this contributed to their dislike of Nigeria police. The study adopted survey design. Data were collected through quantitative method. This involved administering of 128 copies of questionnaire prepared for the study. The data were analysed using frequency distribution. The analyses show that 65.63% of respondents were male; 28.91% of them were between 20 years and 24years; 60.94% were Muslims and 71.1% of them were holders of Bachelor degree. Those who were somehow familiar with police duties and functions were 37.50%; 25.78% rated the performance of the duties and functions to be averagely good; 22.66% averagely like the ways police perform those duties and functions. Majority of respondent rated police corruption to be very high 20.50%; 28.91% dislike Nigeria police because of corruption. Brutality among police was rated low (26.56%); 31.25% dislike Nigeria police because of brutality; 29.69% rated police pro-activeness to be very low; 28.13% dislike police for not trustworthy; 25.00% rated impolite among police to be very low; however, 40.63% dislike police because of impolite behaviours of some officers. In area of incompetence, 19.53% of respondents rated it to be low; but 38.28% of them dislike police because of their incompetence, colluding with criminals was rated very low to be 19.53% but 25.78% of respondents extremely dislike police for colluding with criminals; 25.78% rated police concern for victims of crime to be very low and 38.28% dislike police for this.
