Blue3k:


Not a false example and your point doesn't negate the arguement. Self defense shooting account for alot of gun use. The exact stats vary.

l00l:


but mass shooting cause lot of damage

duro4chang:
They don't carry guns. And again they see it as prestige to go about with police.

JASONjnr:

If you contract a private security guard, The police will easily harrass you.

I saw a well kitted security guard being harrass by a police officer some months ago at the Bannex bridge and it wasn't nice...The guard looked even nicer and ready to protect more than the hungry looking officers.

Blue3k:

Looks like we have a genius in the thread. If the police or laws are preventing preventing private security from doing their jobs that's what need to be changed. I'm sure this an issue people complain about but are uninterested in solving.



Lol its hilarious how the police and government are at the center of most issues plaguing society. Im not surprised the hungry police man is being a nuisance. Alot of them state sanctioned criminals in uniform looking who to extort and bully.

duro4chang:
I don't think anybody is preventing the private security to do their job. They work in banks, schools, companies eateries etc.

Blue3k:


You mentioned they aren't allowed carry guns. Do you believe they effective without having firearms. If so what do you think laws restricting police protection services would be appropriate? If private security in its current form is a reasonable alternative the police don't need to be guarding theses individuals.

Upworkwriter007:

2. Police HQ receive a lot of money from renting out their men. This unit is called the Special Protection Unit. As at 2019, the office of the IG charges 180k per police man with rifle. Police bosses lobby to head that unit. It's wild wild west.

The All Progressive Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has promised to reform the Nigerian Police Force for efficiency if elected as president next year.

He said he would free police officers from being security or orderlies for Very Important Personality, adding that police personnel on such duties would be replaced by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps officers.

Blue3k:



Lol Tinubu's policy is dumb. I wonder why politicians hate market solutions. Why do they feel its the tax payers job to give these individuals extra security. I just don't understand the logic of replacing police with other security agencies.

grandstar:


It would make better sense for the police to officially commercialize it. This will not only bring in income but free policemen for public duties

I'm sure the police could easily charge 200k per police with a rifle. Pay increases with each category of weapon added or rank involved. There should be a list of duties which should not include carrying bag for madam or holding an umbrella for Chinese oga.

They can also be employed for surveillance of mining sites, construction works and so on. It's a win-win for all.

NwaMamaIwota:
private securities are limited to short guns
but police carry automatic riffles.

the enemy comes with automatic riffles too so private security is useless.

3ple9iner:
Private security companies are not allowed to carry fire arms which makes them useless as bodyguards (except you want to employ one with martial arts capabilities)
Policing in Nigeria needs to be decentralized private security companies should be allowed to carry a certain class of weapon. Private security should be for the rich and politicians who can afford it while other security agencies should be for Nigerians.

Blue3k:



Who limited private security to short guns? Lol it's amazing how alot of issues come from government policies but people don't see it. The solution can be in front our face but people like Tinubu can't make a reasonable policy.

Blue3k:


One person here claims it is commercialized. The police claim they're being stretched thin. This compromises public safety unless we're to believe the police and other security agents were idle. The government should allow the private security to carry guns. That's all everyone here comments is their issue. After that the carry whatever. A little fun fact South Africa has more private security than actual police.

seunny4lif:
Private securities in Nigeria are not allowed to own guns, meaning any security agents that own gun will beat the hell out of your private security guards

Nigeria police service or forces are now working slaves for the rich while they are also the cane to flog for the masses

3ple9iner:

Sir, I see no reason for you qouting me as you were responding to something different from what I said.

grandstar:


Isn't it dangerous private security carrying weapons? I need some education here
