The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr Ibrahim Idris, said on Tuesday that policemen would soon be deployed to their communities of origin to enhance community policing.

The IGP told a security stakeholders’ meeting in Lokoja that the bulk of the 150,000 policemen to be recruited over the next five years would serve in their respective communities.

Chai......All those illiterate roadside police/beggers won't like this.

Symptoms of restructuring in progress. Nigeria shall rise again.

Finally! Next step will be state police

This is the best policy that can gradually make the police redeem their lost glory.
A very much welcome development. Though overdue but never too late.

Better ..if you want to Bleep up as a policeman Bleep up in Ur own village and let's see how Ur mama will escape

Better, and we will now see how you would like to destroy your father house because of that #20 change

Hmmm....maybe with this development, Police will now be your friend

The downside of this is arresting their friends.is it possible?

Bad idea if you ask me. "The prophet has no respect in his land of birth"

Non indigenes can study their communities of assignment and deliver on the mandate.

It's AWOL

Why are policemen friends with criminals. They should be there to uphold law. The job isn't personal. Lawyers prosecute their people to jail all the time. Judges sentence them all the time.

Gradually, state police is being introduced.

These Mallams always think they're wiser... simply becos the cry on restructuring is gaining momentum and top of the restructuring is State Police.....they quickly start screaming this trash..

State Police. State Police. State Police.....that is the Only permanent solution to menace of killings, ra.pings and destruction by Buhari cousins called Fulani Herdsmen.

Catch a Fulani herdsmen in ya village use govt AK47 to take them down. Bury them Peacefully in ya Village farmland officially. This is the only way to stop them..

This step in right direction bit police should be local issue. I have whole thread on it. Right now the national police inefficient and beholden to people outside of commuity.

Having state police is better.

All these patch patch ideas won't lead us anywhere cos its better to restructure the country for fairness and justice for all.
