Police homicide has become a serious problem in Nigeria as cases of police killings continue to increase across the country. Against this background, this paper examines the scale of, and contributing factors to, police homicide in Nigeria. It argues that a combination of certain institutional and non-institutional factors are responsible for the growing vulnerability of police personnel in Nigeria to violent death. A comprehensive overhaul of Nigeria Police Force operations is advocated as a means of reversing this trend.
