History of Nigeria Police Force

Nigeria Police Force was first established in 1820. In 1879, a 1,200-member armed paramilitary Hausa Constabulary was formed.

 In 1896, the Lagos Police was established. A similar force, the Niger Coast Constabulary, was formed in Calabar in 1894 under the newly proclaimed Niger Coast Protectorate.

In the north, the Royal Niger Company set up the Royal Niger Company Constabulary in 1888 with headquarters at Lokoja.

Additional Information

When the protectorates of Northern and Southern Nigeria were proclaimed in the early 1900s, part of the Royal Niger Company Constabulary became the Northern Nigeria Police, and part of the Niger Coast Constabulary became the Southern Nigeria Police.

During the colonial period, most police were associated with local governments (native authorities). In the 1960s, under the First Republic, these forces were first regionalised and then nationalised.

The NPF performed conventional police functions and handled internal security; for supporting the prison, immigration, and customs services; and for performing military duties within or outside Nigeria as directed. 

Plans were announced in mid-1980 to expand the force to 200,000.
