At Long Last!!!

Dear Nairalanders,
These are the 7 things you need to know about the NIGERIA POLICE REFORM BILL
We always try to educate as time permits...

usis3:
Pls some one should explain what the bill is all about. Will it give states the power to create state police

Here you have it......

1. The establishment of a service-oriented and modern Police that will meet globally acceptable policing standards in a democratic setting.


2. The modernization of the current Police Force (which was conceptualized and established in the Colonial environment to protect colonial interests) with a Police Force that is geared towards protecting and safeguarding the lives and properties of Nigerian citizens.


3. The establishment of guiding principles to ensure effective policing in Nigeria. These principles include efficiency and effectiveness; accountability, and transparency; protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms; and partnership with other security institutions.


4. Methods of dealing with abuse of weapons by police officers. The Bill also ensures that the police and police officers are held accountable in their actions especially in the areas of arrest and detention of persons and searches.
We love this!


5. Clauses that mandate record keeping by the police and clauses that ensure that citizens are fully protected from abuse by Police officers.


6. The establishment of a Community Police and Boards in all the States of the Federation that will consist of broad representatives of the community and the State to ensure effective, efficient and participatory community policing.


7. The establishment of an independent complaint authority to receive and investigate and effectively deal with complaints against police officers misconduct from the public.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

Waste of time and energy, can Nigerian police really be reformed?. I doubt it honestly, people that can never think of any other thing other than how to be extorting other Nigerians seeing it as a way of life and work ethics.

Nice one

No time ah beg, we are tired

Ok.

Ok we r waiting

Is this stopping police from extorting the poor masses especially the commercial cyclists and motorists?

Has jubril sign other bills?

You're in need of a job.
P.M me

It is well.
Btw, PMB declined assent to Electoral Bill because it's close to election and might alter the process already in place thus creating unnecessary issues.
Now that the election is over, can this same NASS pass that bill into law again so we can give INEC enough time to prepare ahead of next election?

Remove their pockets, improve their salaries, good accommodation, good working materials, insurrance, give them uniforms(i learnt they buy uniforms by themselves) good retirement package, training and retraining, they performs better abroad but turn monsters here. Do this to them, then set up a tax force comprising civilian, any policeman that kills, collects bribes should be beheaded.

It should include state police.

The bill that Buhari will end up not signing into law as usual making nonsense of the whole thing
