The IGP Is Superior To Governors — Lawyer, Ndakudu Adam by SATANICALLY666: 12:23pm On Jan 05, 2022 |
Constitutionally, the IGP is superior to the Governor of a State. Aside that the IGP is an appointee of the President, the Governors have no power to give directive to the IGP. The only police officer the Governor may give directive to is the Commissioner of Police of that state and compliance with this directive is subject to being referred to the President or the Minister appointed in that regard. Section 215(4) is very clear on this point. 18 Likes 5 Shares

SATANICALLY666: The 1999 Constitution is not a justice blueprint, but a silly piece of paper that ought to have been trashed long ago. No country deserves such silly document as 1999 Constitution, not even a Banana republic.

Moreover I understand the Police was there pursuant to a Supreme Court order and a governor has no power to stop the enforcement of a Supreme Court order 34 Likes 1 Share |

Kzinne:sadly, that's the truth. Why do you think state governors have been clamouring for state police since the Obasanjo era? Because they can't control the cops here. Asides from politics, the governor doesn't really have control over the CP of his state. The CP would obey an order from the IGP before he thinks about obeying the governor. 96 Likes 11 Shares |

SportsHD:yes but doesn't mean the cso position is merely ceremonial. Do you know that the governor of a state holds regular weekly security meetings with all the heads of security agencies posted to that state? So in a way he has a form of contro6. But that control is checked 10 Likes 3 Shares |
Re: The IGP Is Superior To Governors — Lawyer, Ndakudu Adam by SportsHD: 1:12pm On Jan 05, 2022 |
Kzinne:Obasanjo really wanted to have control of the new federal republic to himself, hence the powers of the police to him and the IGP only. That's why someone mentioned earlier that the constitution is bleeped right from the roots. That's why amotekun and ebubeagu was incorporated (state police). Still on, some governor's have some cops and soldiers that are very much loyal to them. Like peter obi and his azukwu butcher, seyi makinde and his GOC ibadan buddy. 28 Likes 2 Shares |

Most persons don't know that according to the Constitution of Nigeria the Nigerian police is subordinate to the Inspector General (IG) and the IG is under the authority of the President.. The governors in Nigeria are officially the Chief Security Officers of their various states but do not have power on the Nigerian police as it's vested almost entirely with the Inspector General of Police..The inspector general of police is accountable to the President... Simple as that.. 49 Likes 4 Shares |

It is clear and obvious, you don't even need to be a legal luminary to interpret the constitutional power of the Police IG over a Governor unless it is a state POlice. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

NO!!! THE IGP IS EMPLOYED BY THE FG TO ADVISE THE GOVERNORS WHO ARE THE SOLE AUTHORITIES FOR THE SECURITIES OF THEIR STATES. SO THOSE GOVERNORS CAN ALWAYS REFUSE THE IGP AND HIS ADVICE ON ANY ISSUE. THE IGP IS IN INDIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GOVERNORS. THE GOVERNORS WILL ALWAYS EMPLOY THEIR DIRECT SECURITY RESOURCES TO EXECUTE THEIR SECURITY CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES. THAT IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL AND DIRECTIVE PROJECTION. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

gidgiddy: Well he doesn't a little when it's a matter of security within his state. However if the IGP orders the CP to go against the wish of the governor, the CP has no choice but to obey the order of the IGP. Remember after a CP, there are AIGs and DIGs before IGP so you can see the power of the IGP. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: The IGP Is Superior To Governors — Lawyer, Ndakudu Adam by Babinski: 8:52pm On Jan 05, 2022 |
gidgiddy: The 1999 Constitution Section 215(4) states that "Subject to the provisions of this Section, the Governor of a State or Commissioner of the Government of the State as he may authorise in that behalf, may give to the Commissioner of Police of that State such lawful directions with respect to the maintenance and securing of public safety and public order within the State as he may consider necessary, and the Commissioner of Police shall comply with those directions or cause them to be complied with." In view of the above, a Commissioner of Police is bound to obey the directives of a Governor as long as it does not go beyond the limits of the Executive Powers of the Governor as specified in Section 5(3) subsection 2 of the Constitution. In this regard the CP is therefore required to get approval from the IGP who may or may not overrule the Governor because the IGP represents the President who is the Chief Security Officer of the entire country. 10 Likes 1 Share |
