So Rogue governors like Gov Wicked of Rivers state will now control their police as well?

Am I the only one seeing this as a plot for corrupt governors to use police machinery to influence elections in 2019?

What of states owing workers salaries? How can they be trusted to adequately fund the police?

Are you saying Buhari deserves to control police more than Wike.

It's a good move but imagine what will happen when state police are being owed 6 months salaries.

so who would fund these state and local police forces ---he who plays the piper dictates the tune..is this country matured enough to have an independent state police force. I see this as a populist agenda from the senate ---the crooks are looking for favor.

in spite of the short comings of the current set-up it's still better than a state force that could inadvertently be turned into a local militant group.

Will that old man assent to it? This review go take months if not years to arrive at a conclusion

I think the President himself innitiated that process, recall he met with Saraki and Dogara few days after the Plateau killings and the statement Dogara made after on the outcome of the meeting was about restructuring the security apparatus of the country..

For the funding, once state police is established, NPF workforce will reduce thereby reducing the allocation to NPF, this will create more savings for distribution, while hoping our block head governors create revenues

Good to have state police but there are bound to be many challenges. On funding your suggestion will not work. Funding must be taken from the hands of state govts. That means making police funding a first line charge as is done for the judges. In that way, police won't be owed salaries or retirement benefits. Additionally, state CP should become an elective office, same for area commanders and DCOs.restructuring must be total.

Advantages of state police supersedes any disadvantages.
It will kill off Fulani herdsmen terrorism for example.

If this State Police thingy pass through we should applaud "transmission" for involuntarily becoming a "change agent" and making Dino and Saraki feel our pain on the street.

Good. But the creation of additional police systems should be well researched and thought out. Clear jurisdictions and hierarchies should be established to avoid unnecessary frictions. Checks and counter checks should be in place to curb corruption, vices and excesses.

Checks should be in place to curb abuse and excesses. Also the federal police will have overall outlined authority where there are established cases of power abuse and corruption, but overall state and local govt and community policing will go a long way in stopping most crimes in its track.

The best news that has ever come out of Nigeria since 1960.
Gradually power will leave the centre and go back to the people.

With state police comes it's advantages and disadvantages but it will spiral to lots of amendment in federal and state constitutions while new ones will be created.

We are going to resource control era in no distance time if this works.
...those that travel outside their states knows better than others on d implications..its not a gud tin at all for very ethnicised Nigeria.

This bill will affect the Igbos negatively. They are more outside their states. The locals will use the state police against them and they may not have anybody to complain to. Abroad where this state police work, the people see themselves as one. They speak same language, have common culture and way of life. In Nigeria and many African countries, we see ourselves as different - different languages, culture, religion etc. I will rather advise that more personnel be employed into the police force and policemen and officers be as much as possible posted to their state of origin.

I hope "transmission" keep on their @$$, in fact he should pick one other member of the Saraki-Melaye gang up and put in Alagbon for a week.

States like kano will turn their religious police called hisbah to state police,

If state can't handle ordinary state electoral commission without interference how much of police.

There is clash between others need on their home turf and Igbos need as a visitor on that home turf.

This is where Igbo should dramatize negotiation skills and diplomacy, instead of offending others with disparaging labels and disrespect. Igbo is at mercy of others here and must succumb to reality of civic contracts in a functioning orderly society.
