Systematically removing Christians from security offices. Thunder kill this man

mumu see the kind of trouble you are causing after letting your fulani brothers sneak into all towns and villages fully armed.

which police will they use for election

which police will protect the ministers when they visit their states if they are not in good terms with their governors

which police will man the lucrative road blocks because the guys from the north can do anything to remain on aba road

how can local government have police when they dont have autonomy

how will the police be funded by states that have not been able to pay salaries

with governors like yahaya bello in power how do you think the police will be apolitical

we must not copy in everything.

Good development. This will serve as a deterrent to others. As for the establishment of states police, mr President, Atiku or any other person for that matter could not have been better. We the good and patriotic Nigerians made the best choice when we chose you at the polls. Accept my thumb up.

Oboi

Bad market for the affected officers

Where the list

state and local government police

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday approved the establishment of state and local government police.

He also approved the dismissal of 37 police officers as recommended by the National Human Rights Commission Presidential Special Panel on SARS Reforms.

This is a very good news, With the advantage of shared common language and culture, crime prevention and containment will be relatively easy.
Federal police officers, prior now are posted randomly to states where the cooperation of the local populace is essential in carrying out effective policing.

However, stringent measures will be put in place to  prevent the abusive use of the force to oppress political  opponents. This should not normally happen,  since the  overriding interest of a political leader is to rule over a state, where  the people go about their daily activities in peace and the government is also at peace. Even at that, bad politicians and leaders still use thugs to harass their people and political rivals

The decision of the Federal Government to approve State and Local Government police under the leadership of a Police Commissioner  is a good decision,
But Community policing is also confronted with the challenges of discipline, training, remuneration, management, organisational structure and legality. The personnel could however be screened and those who qualify and are found suitable may be coopted into the state police force.
The overriding advantages of a state police cannot be overemphasised.  The threats posed by insurgents, murderers, bandits, kidnappers, suicide bombers and other criminals are real and all measures in whatever form taken to confront these threats should be embraced.

Some wailers that their whole life is filled with hatred for their country.....they are filled with negativity 24/7 everyday!
You will soon see them on this thread, crying that, why couldn't he approved it 4 years ago!!

God bless our President Muhammadu Buhari and his AMIABLE Vice President PROF YEMI OSINBAJO as they take our nation to the NEXT LEVEL, Aka, A land flowing with milk and honey.

Slow and steady we will get to a New and better Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria

Only the willfuly blind won't see that!

post=78984381:

Approved!!

How?? Will that not require a constitutional amendment?

BMC crew are back with renewed onslaught...story without verifiable source, what is contained in the said document are recommendations.

Besides the president cannot unilaterally approve state and local governments police it's a constitutional issue, at best neighbourhood policing can suffice with a central command.

Huh?

This can't be true. FAKE NEWS

Nice gesture from the president. Hope our state govonors won't abuse it.
