Nigeria being the most populous black nation on earth seems too big to be policed by the Federal Government alone; hence, state police seems necessary. While state police will definitely help in some situation but its potential dangers (especially if they are going to carry gun) are scary! If they would carry guns they must be supervised by either Federal Police or Civil Defence. 1 Like |

Gjrich:President Bola Tinubu, at a meeting with state governors on Thursday, had approved the constitution of a committee to explore the modalities for the establishment of state police. The Nigerian Senate has stated that the federal parliament is ready to review the constitution to accommodate state police if the decentralisation of the security system would end insecurity. President Bola Tinubu, at a meeting with state governors on Thursday, had approved the constitution of a committee to explore the modalities for the establishment of state police. The police is currently on the exclusive legislative list in the constitution, barring state governments from establishing state police. |

Re: Senate Says It Is Ready To Amend Nigerian Constitution To Okay State Police by RichDaniels: 2:57pm On Feb 18 |
Penguin2: In as much as I agree with you, there's still no basis of logic that your argument makes as to why state police ain't needed. To start with, today the federal police is being used by the federal govt and states to abuse citizens, was it not Wike under Buhari era that took over 100 police officers to reign war on Oyinbo and neighbouring communities it serves, it took the courts to save the people of rivers from the issue. One thing that is certain is that the police, which it's primary duty is to protect lives and properties, has failed woefully in such. In fact, most communities are in dissary because of this vacuum. 1 Like |

omohayek: Lol I won't be surprised if it ends up like decentralized prisons. Not one state has established a prison 3 years after the constitution was amended. The federal government will eventually have to force the issue by not accepting prisoners. This especially true if and when they establish their own police force. The state assemblies if they're not completely retarded won't centralize all power to the governor to be abused. The 36 states will come out with ways to run their police force. The federal government is has d this to improve security and save money. 1 Like |

broadman20: Owing to long encumbered education system of Nigeria. level of understanding diminished among too many Nigerians. They can't think of the ulterior motive behind northern Nigeria acquescing to state police now, after more than 50 years that the North objected to state police? Pushing 'repentant Boko Haram into the armed forces for Jihad did not yield the desires of the political and religious leaders of the far northern Nigeria 12 sharia states.

RichDaniels:My point is that we should rather stick to one tyrant than having 36 more mini tyrants. But I agree that due to insecurity, state police has now become an existential necessity. But the law setting it up should try enough to foreclose every loophole that the governors might exploit to turn the police under their commands to their hit men against opposition figures. You should understand what I’m talking about considering who Nigerian politicians are. |

Re: Senate Says It Is Ready To Amend Nigerian Constitution To Okay State Police by malali: 6:21am On Feb 19 |
Globad: [b]Transitioning from a federal police system to a state police system in phases requires careful planning and implementation to ensure smooth integration and effective law enforcement across the country. Here's a potential approach for the quarterly transition, along with specific duties, expectations, and oversight mechanisms for both state and federal police: Phase 1: First Quarter (80% Federal Police, 20% State Police) Duties and Expectations: Federal Police: Focus on handling major crimes with national implications such as terrorism, organized crime, and inter-state offenses. Maintain a presence in border areas, airports, and other strategic locations to safeguard national security. Provide support and training to state police forces to enhance their capacity and effectiveness. Coordinate with other federal agencies such as the military and intelligence services to address security challenges. State Police: Responsible for maintaining law and order within their respective states, including preventing and investigating crimes, enforcing traffic regulations, and handling local security issues. Work closely with local communities to build trust and gather intelligence on criminal activities. Collaborate with other state agencies and stakeholders to address social and economic factors contributing to crime. Implement community policing initiatives to improve public safety and foster positive relations with residents. Oversight: The federal government retains oversight of the overall security architecture, setting national security priorities, and coordinating inter-state law enforcement efforts. The National Police Service Commission or a similar body oversees the recruitment, training, and professional standards of federal police officers. State governments establish State Police Service Commissions to oversee the recruitment, training, and discipline of state police officers, ensuring adherence to state laws and regulations. Phase 2: Second Quarter (70% Federal Police, 30% State Police) Duties and Expectations: Federal Police: Transition to a more supportive role, providing specialized assistance to state police forces in areas such as forensic investigation, cybercrime, and counter-terrorism. Strengthen cooperation with state police agencies through joint task forces and information-sharing mechanisms. Maintain a rapid response capability to handle emergencies and provide backup support to state police during major incidents. State Police: Expand their presence and capacity to effectively police their jurisdictions, including rural and urban areas. Enhance collaboration with neighboring states and local authorities to address cross-border crimes and other regional security challenges. Implement community engagement programs to involve residents in crime prevention efforts and address public safety concerns. Develop specialized units to tackle specific types of crime prevalent in their respective states, such as cattle rustling, communal clashes, or cyber fraud. Oversight: The federal government continues to oversee strategic aspects of law enforcement, including counter-terrorism operations, border security, and interstate crime. State governments strengthen the role of State Police Service Commissions in ensuring professionalism, accountability, and adherence to human rights standards within state police forces. Efforts are made to establish mechanisms for inter-agency cooperation and coordination, including regular meetings between federal and state law enforcement agencies to exchange information and coordinate operations. Phase 3: Third Quarter (60% Federal Police, 40% State Police) Duties and Expectations: Federal Police: Focus on specialized tasks requiring national coordination and resources, such as combating transnational crime syndicates, drug trafficking networks, and cyber threats. Provide training and technical assistance to state police in areas requiring specialized expertise, such as forensic analysis, hostage rescue, and crisis negotiation. Continue to support state governments in capacity-building initiatives and joint operations to address emerging security challenges. State Police: Assume primary responsibility for maintaining law and order within their jurisdictions, including responding to emergencies, conducting criminal investigations, and enforcing state laws. Strengthen community policing strategies to build trust, gather intelligence, and prevent crime at the grassroots level. Enhance collaboration with relevant stakeholders, including civil society organizations, traditional leaders, and local government authorities, to address security threats and promote peace and stability. Oversight: The federal government focuses on providing strategic guidance and resources to support state police efforts, including funding for training, equipment, and infrastructure. State governments assume greater responsibility for overseeing the day-to-day operations of their police forces, including budgetary allocations, personnel management, and performance evaluation. Mechanisms for inter-agency cooperation and information-sharing are further institutionalized to facilitate seamless coordination between federal and state law enforcement agencies. Phase 4: Fourth Quarter (50% Federal Police, 50% State Police) Duties and Expectations: Federal Police: Transition to a leaner, more specialized force focused on high-level strategic tasks, including national security intelligence, border protection, and critical infrastructure security. Enhance cooperation with state and local authorities through joint task forces, intelligence-sharing platforms, and mutual aid agreements. Provide support and assistance to state police in addressing complex and multi-jurisdictional crimes that require federal intervention or expertise. State Police: Assume full responsibility for maintaining law and order within their jurisdictions, with adequate resources and support from state governments to fulfill their mandate effectively. Strengthen partnerships with communities, businesses, and other stakeholders to address local security challenges and promote community resilience. Develop innovative approaches to policing, including the use of technology, data-driven strategies, and community-based initiatives, to enhance public safety and trust. Oversight: The federal government maintains a strategic oversight role in areas of national importance, such as counter-terrorism, interstate crime, and critical infrastructure protection. State governments assume primary responsibility for overseeing the operations of their police forces, including accountability mechanisms, transparency measures, and compliance with legal and regulatory standards. Efforts continue to strengthen inter-agency collaboration and coordination at the federal, state, and local levels to address evolving security threats and ensure seamless law enforcement across the country. Throughout the transition process, it is essential to prioritize the rule of law, respect for human rights, and accountability in policing practices, regardless of whether the jurisdiction is federal or state. Additionally, ongoing dialogue and collaboration between the federal government, state governments, law enforcement agencies, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders are critical to ensuring the success of the transition and building public trust in the new policing arrangements.[/b] |

Penguin2: Those measures are already in place, but the same federal govt you're calling on to limit the states policing powers are the main abusers and frustrators of that measure. The judiciary in every sane society is to act on that regard, in Nigeria today, the federal govt is the chief abuser of the judiciary. |
