In a world where people are demanding for the demilitarization of the police, we want to start arming them with artilleries?
People that are not even meant to be moving around with assault riffles sef, that is why they are able to kill innocent civilians carelessly.
The primary weapon of most of these police units should be tasers. Lethal weapons should be allowed only when on operations requiring it or by special teams meant for quick reactions.
Maybe they should also give them armored tanks and fighter jets

Only anarchists/liberals are demanding unarming of police , actually they want to remove police all together . No sane person will demand the same.

Demilitarization of police is a misnomer , a ruse to a bigger plot .

Arms in possession of police is not equivalent to arms carried by military.

It is a plot to destabilize countries around the world by anarchists , liberals and corporates.

After defanging and removing the police the very same anarchists will install their own armed militia to fight the resulting chaos and from then onwards it will be a route to grab power under the guise of fighting chaos. The same militias will trample the rights of people and those who do not subscribe to their ideology.

Police in many countries many not be the best but that is dependent on the country in question. Their political , judicial and administrative competence. No organization in this world is free of mistakes or prejudices. Efforts should be made to make them better but neutering them will plunge society into chaos .

It took 1000 years of evolution in policing to come up with what we have today. Does anyone think it will be that easy to replace the same. It will be a fools errand and a suicidal move.

How does one expects to fight thousands of heavily armed powerful organised crime syndicates , powerful international drugs cartels , international arms cartels , Islamist terrorists with cross border affiliations without police. Does one think police are supermans ?. One policemen gets killed the whole department is terrorised into submission. This is how things are played out in real world. Criminals are not fools or messiahs.

Problem with police is political interference in their day to day functioning , ironically the same politicians are calling for removal of police.

I say remove the politicians , 90% of the problems will disappear themselves.

Nigerian singer sentenced to death for blasphemy in Kano state

A musician in Nigeria's northern state of Kano has been sentenced to death by hanging for blaspheming against the Prophet Muhammad.

An upper Sharia court in the Hausawa Filin Hockey area of the state said Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, 22, was guilty of committing blasphemy for a song he circulated via WhatsApp in March.

Mr Sharif-Aminu did not deny the charges.

Judge Khadi Aliyu Muhammad Kani said he could appeal against the verdict.

Africa Live: Updates on this and other stories

The singer who is currently in detention, had gone into hiding after he composed the song.

Protestors had burnt down his family home and gathered outside the headquarters of the Islamic police, known as the Hisbah, demanding action against him.

Nigeria is only a secular state on paper. Many atheists and freethinkers are currently in jail and some on death row for criticising Muhammed.

Why would the USA have to resort to public channels to give information to Nigeria.

Does the possibility exist that after several intelligence information briefs to the Nigerian government. There has been no commensurate response to mitigate against the situations raised.

I think we should look at ourselves.

There were claims that when the Chibok girls were abducted USA intelligence pinpointed their location. However, the Nigerian armed forces did not act on the information.

I do not know why u have to write something as foolish as this,... So U.S is scared of Nigerian govt as to resort to the use of media.

komekn:


Two different approaches.

You have love for mediocrity and incompetence.

I have zero tolerance for both. My expectations for the nation are different from yours. What you call love for the nation is not what l call love.

Yea that's why u have to resort to folly

komekn:


You base you entire deduction on a newspaper report. Which in itself alludes to misgivings about the conduct of the Nigerian military. Considering at that time communications were spearheaded by Alex Badeh ( is there anymore to be said)

So on what do u base yours, where did u get the information that they actually shared info, u make so many unwarranted conclusions and end up accusing pple of doing same

Lol, let's not believe everything we see, under which law... Is it the shariah penal code, since it the law applicable in question lol....and let assume we believe this olly, once it reaches the shariah court, not to talk of the court of appeal, it will be thrown out like gabbage

Xbee007:

That because they don't have lawyers to appeal to a court where sane judges sit...
You see all those magistrate, they hardly know what they are doing, some are not even lawyers then, thank to the new legal provisions... Even those that we have currently don't know how to apply the law,.
A foolish magistrate one day decided to reverse court of appeal decision.
Something a 100/v law student who has studied legal method would not do...

A bike man gave a police officer free lift, that was the time when kaduna state govt we're ceasing commercial bikes in favour of keke napep. When he got the police man to the station the man then wanted to arrest him.. that's how the bike man started fighting when pple came, he said the police officer insulted the prophets. Turkey brained pple began beat the police man, that how the bike man escaped.

U need to just hear some speak English,

The Police Command in Benue, on Monday confirmed the killing of 13 villagers by unidentified gunmen in Edikwu District, Apa Local Government Area (LGA).

DSP Catherine Anene, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) said in a statement in Makurdi.

“Peace was restored to the area but on Aug. 10, at about 04:00hrs, information was received that about 20 armed men invaded the community and shot sporadically at members of the community.

“A team of police officers were deployed to the scene where 13 corpses were recovered. Investigation is still in progress”. She said.

A resident of the community who preferred anonmity told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the attack on Edikwu community was unprovoked.

“The unknown gunmen stormed the community at the early of hours of today, shooting sporadically and burning down houses, leaving many people dead while others are still missing.”

Since they're using the organic customary law of these areas, I feel it's misplaced priority to use English language. to add to it, these courts are inferior courts statutorily.

If the state allow these "religious rebel" walk free don't you think it's clearly a case of allowing them walk into a mine field considering how volatile we're about religious fight?

How did you arrive at such a nonsensical proposition devoid of any substance and or rational.

Because I did not and if l did not , who Did That means it must be you.

That being the case look in the mirror, probably wipe it down so you can see clearly. Now you can see, what do you see a!?? ❓ a wise man or the exact OPPOSITE.

Oh!!! Boy, this guy has bought job.....major , in tundra army van not even hilux and old army plate number , and he was driving it, nobody junior to him to drive the unit utility vehicle.

This guy set himself up, to anybody that has a little idea how the military works.

He wouldn't have raise suspicion if he was with a few orderlies. A commissioned officer driving military van alone is enough to raise suspicion anywhere. And I'm pretty sure when he was asked questions, he began stammering and fidgeting lol.. na for there dem go know say you be fake. Make I no lie I used to impersonate army before actually my uncle was a Colonel in the army so I managed to get one of his camo round necks to avoid police wahala coz my paper no complete. Once they stop me for questioning, I simple tell them the barracks I came from. If they ask for ID card, I tell them "what for". Then I hiss and zoom off. It works like magic. They no fit open fire.. the key na confidence.

Baba afa now

Yea, but when it going up, they tranlate everything back to English...

As for me, the man no use him sense. How somebody would confidently make a blasphemous statement against the prophet, when he knows the consequences in an Islamic state like Kano is what I am still trying to understand

You have to choose your battles with sense.

He can't be killed sha, he will surely be freed when he appeal.

Nigerian politicians get sense No politician in those sharia states up north will speak in support of the man, in fact they will be in support of the judgement even though they know is not right

Until the elites and politicians are ready to bring an end to the insurgency and banditry, we are still a long way to defeating it.
Every form of insurgency the country has ever witnessed has the blessing of some notable public figures who are close to the corridors of power.

The Niger Delta crisis is a case in study. Every militant who isn't in the good books of the ruling political class was either eliminated or made to disappear.
The same scenario is playing out in the north with a different geopolitical dimension.

The Norths cultural affiliation with neighboring countries, larger land mass and porous borders brings in a lot of complexity in comparison to the Niger Delta.

Na the same playbook, just revised edition
