These images are of the Oworonshoki Police Station in Lagos, Nigeria, in a state of severe disrepair, with a leaking roof and littered surroundings, reflecting chronic underfunding in the Nigerian Police Force, where budget allocations have remained below 2% of the national budget since 2015, according to data from the Nigerian Budget Office.

This condition aligns with a 2021 study by the CLEEN Foundation, which found that poor infrastructure correlates with increased police corruption and brutality, as officers face dehumanizing work environments, potentially explaining local perceptions of misconduct highlighted in the thread. –

The station’s plight coincides with a recent demolition in Oworonshoki that displaced over 7,000 residents, as reported by Sahara Reporters, suggesting a broader systemic neglect in the area that amplifies the urgency for infrastructural reform.
