The Parliamentry seating on state police.
I am Mr speaker (Edogram.) of Nairaland house of Reps. Dear honorable Nairaland house of Rep, Plz what's your take on state police? welcome development or not? Identify your name and constituecy before your take in a sentence not more than 300 charaters words, and Hi or null.

mod, where is the pull botten? Cant find it anymore...

Mod

Front page please.

was there an election?

The Northern leaders are hypocrites.

Most of their governors adopted Sharia law system, which is different from the Laws of Nigeria.

They inaugurated Hisba police for the sharia law enforcement.

Now they say no to State police.

Enough of these games.

I sincerely don't get why anybody would be against State Policing. Maybe folks don't understand how it works. Having state police doesn't eliminate the Federal Police system, the same way having the state house of assembly or the state judiciary didn't eliminate the need for similar national systems.

The key security issue we have in this country is not boko haram as it has immediate impact on only a tiny fraction of the population. Let the federal police system deal with such issues. Armed robbery, kidnapping, manslaughter and the simple task of maintaining law and order should be localized.

A state like Cross Rivers,a relatively peaceful state is entirely different from a state like Delta where every street urchin might be a commando with enough ammunition to take on the Mossad. The budgets for security in both state would be different. In a federal police system, budgets would be allocated not with regards to needs but with regards to equity. In a state policing system, the governor knows his security needs and deploys more resources as required.

Fashola explained this properly in his latest interview.

The truth be told, the only reason Northern Governors are afriad of State police is their fear of southern secession. Their reasoning is that if the south if given the freedom to arm their police force, such a force would become stronger than the army and when the time comes the southerners would secede with relative ease.
