How many times have you seen the military doing the work of the police in developed countries ? The fact that it has become the norm over time doesn't make it an acceptable standard. Just admit it was a wise decision and stop tripping.

ECOTERRORS:
BH will have a field day on defenceless civilians now, I'm still baffled with this Daura President

holysaint1:


with all due respect....... think b4 u type.

Bluetooth2:


Maiduguri is heavily militarized yet bombing is a daily affair there. What will you say about that ?

CaptaiinG:
I have nothing to say to you but you have to grow up, at this age if u can't quote a comment without insulting then you are suffering from ignorance, it's never too last bro... U must know that now

I am no expert on security issues, but this doesn't look good from whatever standpoint I choose to look at it


Nigeria is on terror alert and some peeps, like the op above me, are busy yapping about the provisions of the Constitution. ....Of what use is the Constitution to a dead citizen? ... The Constitution can properly be set aside on grounds of overriding Public interest..And the current Nigerian situation isn't one where we should allow the Constitution jeopardize our chances of survival both as individuals and as a nation

The Nigerian Police is presently physically and emotionally unequipped to properly handle armed robberies, much less terrorists who are almost always out-gunning trained soldiers .... What seems proper to me is that soldiers keep on maintaining internal security, while the Police Force is then properly re-oriented and equipped to take over its Constitutional duties... Because I am already shuddering at the prospect of drunk, and lily-livered Police men manning our state Borders and other sensitive internal areas


is it just me, or is Baba really going senile?

He ordered Military to do the job:
The HATERS were all over the place shouting "this man should know we are in a democracy, this man has military mentality, this man trusts only his 'boys' e.t.c




Now, he replaces them with the constitutionally approved Police:

The children of ANGER again came to town: The Police is not ready, What did we do to Buhari, this is not important, blah-blah-blah!

Shoooh!
I pray this their madness does not stop o, because they are on a VERY LONG THING............ till 2023


Meanwhile #SaiBaaba nor send anybody..... Haters and Anger Pikins can jump inside ma Soakaway!

I doubt if PMB wouldn't have noted the poor state of the police before making this critical decision.
But most importantly,let's await the details of d decision before making any informed comments.

JoeCutie:
Magnificent decision. The internal security of a nation is taken care of by the Police and not the soldiers. The army are based in the bushes, at the borders and are seen around once in a while. The Police should assume their responsibility back.

AirborneLacer:


Darl as much as you've made good points on this development, I still believe the President is doing the right thing.

This is Nigeria not Somali or Libya. The military has no business whatsoever with the civilians unless during days of insurgency.

We keep defying normalcy by allowing the army to be on check-points, streets and walkways.

You don't just throw away your old spoilt toy for a new one when you could have easily fixed it. If the Nigerian Police have been left in a state of decay, I believe it's best thing we push for reforms not to have them wholly prevented from performing their duties.

The military might have instilled discipline and restored decorum in the Nigerian society, but then the manner through which that was achieved doesn't bode well with our fundamental human rights. The citizenry who were supposed to be protected are being subjected to harsh treatment and severe punishment by the army.

In some states, the army are bought easily by some individuals and influential figures and are used to settle scores, this clearly tells one thing, the military just like the police are also corrupt.

So I believe this is a good move, one that must be followed up with the reform of the Nigerian Police.

The question now is, what visible signs of empowerment have we seen, except sewing new school uniforms that look like that of the army

True words bro. There are times i do wonder if there is a police force in Nigeria, because, like you rightly mentioned, the Nigeria army has been factually playing a dual role--- internal and external security. It has become so bad that people now prefer to settle scores and carry out arrests of offenders using the army or vigilante groups, simply because the NPF has lost its integrity and whatever deterence it can project, due to endemic corruption, under development and betrayal of public trust.

The Nigerian police force is virtually none functioning and in none existence.

It is very heart breaking when a policeman practically select the cases and checks he needs to handle, as it relates to arrest of persons and investigations in area of operation and zoning within the force. But when you call the same policeman to help in recovering a debt, you would be shock to see how effectve he is, as if that is part of his duty, when you shall behold in awe the intimidation, brutality and arrests that would follow---since he is gonna get some change from it. But the same policeman will look the other way from a suspected tinted glass Jeep, not caring what is inside, provided he has gotten the much revered hundred naira note: something you hardly see a SOULJA do.

It is even more regretably lugubrous when you come accross a policeman who can not distinguished between a criminal and civil offence. Very pathetic.
The same policeman you will find on the highways and byways!

Therefore, the removal of the army from all check points, though done in good faith, is likely to exacarbate the fragile security condition of our roads and cities, since that deterrence (however little) may no longer be there.

May God help us!
