Why SOKAPU Should Introduce Local Police Legislation To NASS by Blue3k2: 1:08am On May 07, 2017 |
Security forces are not doing enough to squelch the violence going on in Southern Kaduna, especially the guerilla killings. But to change that, SOKAPU and the rest of us in Southern Kaduna also have to change tactics. The Nigerian Police might have had enough men to storm the recent protest and try to end it. But they never seem to do enough to secure lives and property. http://visionletters.org/sokapu-introduce-local-police-legislation/ |

I agree with the proposal but disagree with methods. The people should vote in the Police Commissioner. It would work like does in Texas. We vote in our Sheriff in every city. This would literally make them directly accountable to citezens. I also have issue with the emergency provisions for tribal disputes. I feel like there's room for abuse. I honestly think the police should request help before other forces jump in generally. Police should handle day to day affairs. Federal government should do more specialized jon like FBI in USA. Local governments should be able to provide police services. Either the Chairman, a Police Board, or some other local body will appoint a Commissioner of Police. The important thing is, someone closer to the people should do it.This way the people they protect directly hold them responsible. The range of diversity and increased intra-settlements might present a problem. When there are religious or tribal crises, a local government that consists mainly of the majority ethnic group might be reluctant to protect the minority.
