What clause protects motorists from extortion?

Where is provision for the establishment of state police. I have heard Saraki and other national assembly members shout about it.

After reading this nonsense reform highlight (the main objective of the police reform bill passed) I now understand that Nigeria and all the senators combined is a shithole.

Can u imagine this people?

Is it that Nigeria or it's senators have lost touch of the realities of life or that of Nigeria? Every stupi.d line on this reform bill is to protect the police and nothing to protect the citizens. What is all this nonsense bikonu?

In a country were police can arrest anybody with a warrant, search your house, store, bag and even your laptop and phone without so much as a warrant or even tell you the reason, all this waste of money senators can come up with or even ascend to is this kind of Bill?

I don't even want to go in to extra judicial killing, the reckless shooting on unarmed citizens that the police is evidently know for, this people is still passing bills to make the citizens more numb in the presence of the police. This is brutal by the government upon its citizens and this is how a government that have the interest of democracy at heart operates.

Make my words, these so called SARS and other police special or non-special forces will be more brutal that ever now. The government is the problems of this country. I am appalled.

So now I will have to watch a police officer or SARS assault me without so much as putting up a resistance in order not to go to jail for 6months or pay a fine of 100k. You people (govt. And senators) should be ashamed for yourself.

By the time buhari rejects this trash some online lawyers will start shouting not knowing that he is actually helping us.

buhari should reject this bill

The thing I see there na civilian reform. When police commit, una go just slap them for wrist abi

Bimpeusman:
On Wednesday, the senate passed a bill seeking to reform the Nigeria police force.

Here are highlights of the police reform bill:

Clause 4 (c) says the president shall appoint the inspector-general of police from the recommended applicants subject to the confirmation of senate.

Clause 6 (a) says the president shall remove the inspector-general from office for his inability to effectively perform the functions of his office. (b) for gross misconduct. (c) where the president is satisfied that is in no longer in the interest of the police force or public for inspector-general to continue in office.

Clause 23 provides for the establishment of a police fund.

Clause 96 provides that anyone who assaults a police officer, obstructs or resists a police officer is liable to a fine of N100,000 or six months imprisonment.

Clause 98 prohibits the taking of liquor or intoxicating substance while on duty. Punishment prescribed for such offence is a fine of N20,000 or three months imprisonment.

Clause 99 prohibits the impersonation of police officers. Punishment prescribed for such offence under this clause is a fine of N300,000 or three years imprisonment or both.

Clause 100 prohibits the entry of the police force with forged certificate. Punishment prescribed for the offence is a fine of N500,000 or three months imprisonment.

Clause 103 provides for the establishment of community police forum.

So sad!!
The reform bill clearly leaves high chances of reckless behavior and killings by the police. Assault on a police officer attracts 100k or six months behind bars, what of assault by police on civilians?? So you also telling me that just 20k fine for a man with riffle taking liquor that will in turn make him release bullets and call it “stray “, you can see clearly that they are not planning to curb drinking on duty at all and that accounts most for their useless killings.

still expecting anything good from Stupid BUKOLA SARAKI led 8th senate, awon omo ofo jatijati

alexistaiwo:
What is the punishment for taking bribe and extra judicial killings?

Those were the things I was looking out for, a Las, I found no reference to them!!

Where then is the reform I ask?

These lawmakers are idiots. None addressed the issue of extrajudicial killings of unarmed civilians. Buhari should not sign the hopeless bill, there is nothing 'reformed' about it.

Hopeless Saraki and his fellow idiots.

2) any police who kills an unarmed civilian for any reason his pension should go to the victims family before he faces firing sqard and the video played to his colleagues.
3) any police who arrest or searches a civilians phone without a warrant 300k fine or 6month imprisonment.

6) the citizens have the right to video any police man on duty when ever they misbehave in public.

you have said a lot but the issue on police are more than this. What about road check. Any one find on road block shall be liable to a fine of 100k or two month imprisonment. The senators know what to do but they will not do it. I just pray Bari will not sign this useless bill that does not cater for masses.
