Corruption in the police force in Nigeria an Afro-centric ethical critique.

The legacy of apartheid may be likened to a Hydra. This mythical beast was rumoured to be large in stature, with poisonous breath. However, the trait it was better known for was that it possessed many heads and for every one head that was cut off, two would grow in its place. The elimination of the apartheid system effectively cut off the head of this hydra, severely wounding the beast but giving birth to various other terrors. Public sector corruption is one of those terrors.
As an individual who was too young to be a part of the battle against apartheid, I have recognised that there is still a battle that needs to be won. As corruption continually thwarts the efforts of those who died for the liberation of South Africa and hinders the upliftment and development of the State, it becomes necessary to combat this scourge. However, before going into battle one must first understand the battle arena. Thus, the purpose of this dissertation is to gain understanding as to how the South African Government has attempted to combat corruption by means of policy and legislation. The information gained during this process may be used to identify areas of weakness, which may be considered in restrategising
anti-corruption efforts. This battle against corruption needs to include all South
Africans as public sector corruption has a negative impact on all who find themselves within our boarders. Thus, we cannot call ourselves truly liberated before this enemy of good governance is defeated.

The South African Police Service, like many other police agencies around the world, is confronted by the challenge of fighting crime with clean hands. To win this challenge, police corruption needs to be systematically uprooted. The rooting out of corruption is crucial to preserve the integrity of the police agency. Police corruption is increasingly understood as a hazard inherent in police work. The aim of this article is to investigate various factors that play a role in or make it easy for the police to commit corruption. This will be followed by measures designed to prevent corruption. The preventive measures are premised on the fact that there are multiple causal factors to police corruption, which are found within individual members, the organisation and in the operational methods of the police. These factors will be scrutinized and various preventive measures will be proposed as the way forward. The article further explains the importance of cultivating police informants within the police service and highlights the necessity of changing police policies to ensure that police informants are paid.
