Okija_juju: From bottom up...

First of all, the last paragraph of that act clearly states that this is an amendment to the 2003 act and thereby makes the 2003 act obsolete.. #iStandToBeCorrected...

Secondly, I am not aware of what the Nigerian Police act states, but I am going to research it and get back to you.
Thanks for the #Istandtobecorrected and I would gladly be of help...The 2007 Amendment Act only adds and improves on the provisions of the 2003 Act and should be read alongside with it.Kindly read about laws and their amendments and you'd realise amending a law doesn't render it obsolete, rather it seeks to improve on the law hence both the original act and the amendment are to be read and interpreted together. Cheers
Cheers.

Okija_juju: I am also sure that the Nigerian constitution places the Nigerian Police as the No.1 agency with regards to the security of lives and properties.. Especially in a democratic dispensation. Even the army does not have as high a jurisdiction in security matters as the police except in special cases where the Federal government has delegated them to work or in a state of emergency situation. This means that all para-military agencies fall under the Police.

#Case closed.

Gentleman, this is exactly the reason why the Police Act is regarded as one of the worst legacies nigeria inherited from the colonialists. The very first Police force to be regarded as Nigeria police Force was in 1930 and save for some 'face-saving' amendments with the most recent coming into law around the 1980's, there has been no review and or update of the functions and duties of the Police in Nigeria and I'm sure you would agree with me that in the face of technological developments and all, the police Act can be said to be an archaic and outdated Act/Law. If the National Assembly which is supposed to be the 'voice' of the Nigerian people in its wisdom decides to enact a law to divest the Police Force of the mandate to safeguard pipelines and critical government infrastructure, who are we to complain.
P.S The provisions of the NSCDC Act you pasted on this thread is the amendment act of 2007. Kindly post the Act of 2003 and let's have an interactive discussion. Cheers

I think the NSCDC Act 2003 and the amendment of 2007 mandates civil defence to guard all government infrastructurees with pipelines being specifically mentioned (not sure of the section)hence the NSCDC boys on duty were there as of right and not on 'illegal duty'. It is also noteworthy that these NSCDC guys were trained by the Nigerian Army and their rules of engagement must be in line with the Army's which is to ask questions and or request for identification, a loud shout to halt before opening fire if need be for that. I have had cause to interact with men and officers of the military (on internal security or peace-keeping abroad) and they always try to avoid joint operations with the police due to the attitude of shooting first and asking questions later.
The reason for the above epistle is to establish a background that the Nigerian Police are known for LIES, covering up of crimes and criminals, recklessness and a devil-may-care attitude among security agencies and the public at large.
In other words, the story by Miss Ngozi Braide is full of crap.#shikena#

CrimeRe: Drunk Policemen Kill Businessman In Lagos by baffylander(m): 8:48pm On Mar 19, 2013
What do we expect from this bunch of ill-trained, angry and sadistic killers in uniform? You only need to visit a police station once and you'd definitely leave with a very heavy heart...and SARS, kai these guys daily carry out extra-judicial killings daily without anyone of them being held accountable for these heinous crimes. I see a policeman with a gun be it at a checkpoint or on patrol and I know this is a man who can snuff life out of my body without any consequences.
