What I think is that setting up a security outfit isn't majorly the problem but the personnel employed. I recall the time when the OPC were newly setup and everywhere , they went beyond their scope and even attended to family issues and disrupted so many things. For example, If I am a member and I do not like a particular person, I will use the power conferred on me to "treat his Bleep up" and my clique(colleagues) would support me , regardless.

They committed so many atrocities that the government had to Interfere and even imprisoned some of them. They went totally out of their job/task description and became feared by all and sundry resident within and not majorly by Armed robbers ,cultists among others.

Based on my little experience I have seen , I have come to agree with the erstwhile President, Goodluck Jonathan that we(Nigeria) are not mature yet for state police Not to talk of security outfit that has not received any significant training and are majorly illiterates
