Following the development, Chief Security Officers of all banks in the country on Wednesday held a four-hour closed door meeting with the DIG Operations at the Force Headquarters to fashion out ways on how the banks could provide their own alternative security.

Though the outcome of the meeting was not made public, but an inside source said the banks were not disposed to the new arrangement, and were still pleading  with the Inspector General of Police to rescind the decision as such directive will likely alter their operations and also jeopardize the security of customers.

lol. Armed Robbers must be ecstatic

this poster dey advertise hin site jare.no mind am with hin fake news.

there is no need for banks to panic because police or no police armed robbers has been attacking and robbing banks even when the police are there.Some banks that is located opposite police stations have been robbed while the police watch as the operation goes on so i don't see the big deal if they are withdrawn from banks.

Of what use have they been actually, they are peanuts for armed robbers who attack with more sophisticated weapons. It is either this or they equip them with better weapons and protection. I can't just imagine been in their shoes, they kind of thought that goes through their mind on a daily basis waiting to combat a more equipped opponent.

This means more clueless police goats on the streets and more innocent Nigerian lives at risk.

Whether it is fake news or good news or bad news, I don't know.

Of a fact, I think it will be BEST because it will CREATE MORE EMPLOYMENT.
that means police will really do their work, and more Nigerian graduates will be employed imagine the no. of people that will be employed.


Well I dey laugh

This new IG, na wa ooooh

Wow sounds dangerous to me

I believe they want to pave way for the registeration of Armed Security companies. Guess who will be the beneficiaries of that!

This is serious.

@OP
this is no good news.

ifyalways:

Good business for private security companies.

in nigerian banks?
what d' you mean?
This is Nigeria.

forget them jor.

of what impact has the nigerian police made in protecting lives and properties in the nigerian banking sector? it is obvious that their presence at the banks are more threat to the customers cos most of them work hand in hand with armed robbers. most of those armed rubbers gets first class information from the police security men, posted to most of the existing nigerian banks. the presence of the policemen at banks does not scared armed rubbers from perpetuating their awful act rather it pave way for them and upgrade their information. Let them go jare

This IG man self,
First, he said they should scrap Civil Defence (NSCDC) out
Second, he said Army should be withdrawn from election as part of security agents.
now he want to remove police from banks

i just hate this man.
i don't think he knows what he's doing.

The banks are rich enough to carter for their own security

Armed Robbers Union must have lobbied for this decision

why not ask the poster if the vanguard you quoted was the original source he posted. ?

crazy modafacka !

These banks should be able to provide better security for their businesses instead of over-relying on the archaic tactics of the MPF.
Time for me to go start a private security company.

Security is Not free and the Nigerian Banks know that,

Why would the IG think of removing police security from banks if
the banks refuse to issue better[b] "security Contracts" [/b]to the Nigerian
Police force.

Most Banks use "Private Companies" for security ie "Securicor" [/b]in the UK
but even they are "Backed up" in term of monitoring to the CCTV system
and have connectiones to the UK Police Force.

[b]And all of the Private Security firms in the UK are Part Owned and Staffed
by Ex Military and Police Officers.

Police force in the UK charge "Football clubs" for security services
at football matches and other events.

Police Presense at Public/Private Events in the UK means some organisation
is paying "Part of the Bill" besides the Government.

The Nigerian Banks should wake up from their "Dreamland" of paying the
Nigerian Police "Peanuts" for securing Billions of Naira

Or is something stirring here. are the Military Elite thinking of  starting Private
security firm to now watch over the money, hmmm
