Femi Falana On Channels TV Today: 7 Points He Made by olillywales(m): 2:09pm On May 09, 2016 |
Top human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has once again vented his frustration with the sorry state of the nation, especially concerning the spate of insecurity sweeping across different regions. Below are the 7 salient points from Falana’s explosive interview on Channels television on Monday, May 09, 2016. Inspector General of Police is incompetent: Femi Falana accused the IGP, Solomon Arase of incompetence on the handling of the Fulani herdsmen. He said it left much to be desired that the IGP had to wait for a presidential order before taking action after scores of local residents were killed in the recent Fulani herdsmen attack in Ukpabi Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani local government area of Enugu state. The Police is understaffed: He also opined that the Nigeria Police lacked the capacity to effectively police 170million people with just 130,000 men. 162 police officers guarding a governor is too much: According to Falana, Nigeria “used to have 300 policemen guarding a Governor, now Police assigns about 162 officers to guard each State Governor”. For a police that is already understaffed, that figure is still too much. Ex-commissioner of police, Enugu, Nwodibo Ekechukwu deserves some punishment: He said that the transfer of the ex-police boss in the state is not enough as the community had alerted the governor who then alerted the commissioner of police but failed to take actions. He further said that all heads of security agencies- commissioner of police, Director of state security service and Army commander in Enugu were guilty of security negligence and should be dealt with accordingly. The Police constantly engages in extra judicial killings: Femi Falana alleged that the police was regularly engaged in outright killings of armed robbery and kidnap suspects after parading them to the media. He said, “What happens to armed robbery suspect and kidnap suspects after the parade? They are simply extra judicially executed. I go to court regularly; I cannot remember when last armed robberies were brought to court. In 2014, 532 armed robbery and kidnap suspect were paraded all over the country and I went to the police to get the court were these criminals were being arraigned but I got no response,” Falana said. State governors should fight for State Police: Falana said it was high time the 36 state governors challenged the federal government over the centralized policing in Nigeria. “The FG has violated the constitution; what I mean is section 214 of the constitution provides that there shall be only one police force in our country that shall bear arms but over the years, all other paramilitary force carry arms. “There is no way you can police over 170 million Nigerians with one police force. The federal police will deal with federal offence, the state police will deal with state offence. Even local government can have police. Chief of Army Staff, Buratai should mind his business: In a clear attack on the Chief of Army Staff, Falana said Nigerian army has no business with internal security unless in dire situations. He also said Buratai has no moral right to harass Nigerians and teach on how to protect lives and properties in Enugu after it allegedly killed and buried Shi’ites in Kaduna state last December. http://www.metronaija.com/2016/05/7-shocking-points-femi-falana-said-on.html 46 Likes 4 Shares

Falana spoke the absolute truth. The police were very complicit in the attack that took place in Enugu. The GOC of the 82 division must also be disciplined and probably court-marshaled for negligence of duty. It is high time people began to answer for their roles in the abominable attack. There is no better time for state police than now. The attack would have been averted if the Governor could give orders to the police commissioner. The fear of state police becoming a tool in the hands of governors should not stop us from trying it out. We can build necessary safeguards through our laws that will ensure that that does not happen. 61 Likes 2 Shares |

Maybe when people lose the blind political party support, the truth will start coming out. It's not everything that should be politicised but if any government functionary comes out to address these issues now we'll start hearing of 16years of rot by PDP, oil price drama and all that BS!

I agree with the last point he made. it is only in developing countries, esp in Nigeria that the military practically live with civilians. they were trained to face war, protect the territory and not interfere with the affairs of the civilians. imagine using military for elections, bad practices. 11 Likes |
