Nearly everyone in Nigeria has experienced the failure of the police to carry out their duty to uphold the law - from aiding and abetting election Mal-practices to different stories of extortion, bribery and failure to investigate reported crimes to logical conclusion. Everyday we witness how our human rights are being violated by our law enforcement officers. They arbitrarily arrest and imprison people which in many cases resulted in extra - judicial killings.

We cannot allow this jungle justice to continue if we are to believe the rule of law being touted by our government. So what are the prospect of improving the performance and conduct of our police and how do we go about it?

Nigerian police? Fcuz they can be reformed; tie them all 2 barrels and shoot dem on the forehead then recruit new cadets,it should serve as a deterrent to them. Only then would things change. The current bunch are a lost cause!

The solution is state/local govt  police .

The same Police force that arrested a goat for robbery claiming he changed from human?

Well if I am to be generous I will say yes they can be reformed but it will take some dedication, rooting out the bad eggs among them, making an example of some of them e.t.c

More technology to defend the rights of the masses like CCTV; this could be coupled with a weekly show about corrupt policemen to show the evidence gathered and disgrace them.  This might shock them into behaving properly.  

Just mere wishful thinking.

@Cadaver which one be ur problem? why the many posts?abi ur head service don comot.
@poster yes naija police can be reformed.the only remedy is 2 retire all persons in the NPF and recruit new breed and let them be aware that any form of disloyalty will be dealt wit ie by instant shooting of the gulty.

How can the body be reformed when the head is rotten?

illusion2:

Cadaver,u de wound? why all the repeat posts na ? 

Dont mind him,another attention seeker!

I suggest recruitin and trainning a new police by sourcing from NYSC. pay off the semi illiterates we currently have as our police

Thats right!

Increase their salary

@cadaver, you don die before? Pun intended. You wan reach 100 posts per day.

The dumb cops should all be hanged and just before they die should be cut down and shot between the eyes. Or they should be forgiven and then sacked!

How about boko haraming. . . why not?

Some of my friends went to a hotel in benin to drink. meanwhile there was a guest lodging in the hotel that snatched a car from warri. The police from warri were able to trace the car to the hotel maybe because the car has GPS service. Intially, wen they got to the hotel and seeing the car, they called the nearest police station in benin and they came with about 3 vans, they packed everybody in the hotel, all the guest and the people drinking in the bar to the policestation. Finally the guy that snatched the car was identified, he was in posession of some things in the car and even the car owner rightly identified him. the police from warri now took him away and ordered the DPO of that police station to release the other guys(about 15-18). After those police left, the fucking DPO said they have to do further verification and ordered for the detantion of the guys, they were beaten with cutlass and slept the cell, the following day, they have to bail each with #7,000.

This really pained me, by the way where does the money for bailing go to because its boldly engraved in all policestation that Bail is free and we should not pay for it.

out of point

Instead of looking for armed robbers and kidnappers, the police will hire bus and be huntings boys walking on the street, on top of bike and inside car searching phones for international numbers. If they see a flash in your hand, your own don finish, even though na your school books and project dey inside, them go say you be yahoo boys.Now we cannot carry laptop again because of these highly corrupt men.

The police is supposed to be a professional body and not for these semi-illiterate that cannot even speak good english.

If we trully have a sincere government, we can trully solve some of these bribe taking by police by encouraging individuals that can produce video clips of police collecting bribe both in road block and in the office. I have a spy camera and i can produce plenty of them. Then the police found guilty will be publicly executed.

It's possible it was a network problem

Soon there will be no police in Nigeria and there will be peace.

P.O.L.I.C.E force will be eradicated very soon.

what will replace them?

i do not know for now till then.

It is impossible for the nigerian police to be reformed.The police system is corrupt from the top to the very least person.

Actually,my uncle na eke(policeman),if d house has agreed 2 exterminate all men in black,please spare him,hez a gud guy,a gud broke guy.

you have hit the nail on the head. Add to that, training from international police forces, technology and a good remuneration just like the army. Case solved

u guys are harsh o

@poster
in 1000yrs , maybe.
By then embezzling has become nigh impossible and so there will be funds to reform the police.
Oh Wait. . . . our oil would have run out by then so. . .NEVER.

Topic.

They can. How? Simply eradicate coruption and mobilize able minds.

police should just see themselves as civilians
