State Police would end 98% of this killing

But let's pretend like we are looking for solution to this insecurities when the solution is obvious
[color=#006600][/color]

That's true, but with the kind of politicians we have who usually get into power through election rigging it will be dangerous to leave the control of state policing in their hands.
If it's possible the masses have greater say or control of the police then it's ok.
Look at how some governors are fighting their opponent and previous governors then one begin to wonder the length they will go to achieve their aims?
It's untill we start having free and fair elections then the issue of state policing can be discussed.

You are spot on!!! GEJ is the reason why this escalated!!! He didn't deal with it decisively when it started!!! If he had dealt with it squarely when it started, many people who later joined wouldn't have dared to join. Just like the Ghanian government, dealt with them and threw everything they had to make sure they stamped it out in GH. Other countries like Togo, Benin and even Cameroon didn't allow them. But our successive leaders including BAT lack the political will to stamp it out.
U don't understand the political terrain of Nigeria, if any leaders tries to use force on them, thesame people they kidnapped now will be shouting about how federal government is targeting our youth, the same youth will start protest against police and government, the same Eastern's will use it for political campaigns against who ever is in power.
Take example of fake drugs and NAFDAC, when NAFDAC was quiet people complained but when NAFDAC started working same people started claiming victim, even Peter Obi claimed certain people were targeted etc. Nigeria is not easy to govern, too many interest, division plus our youth are easily manipulated due to past and consistent under performance of government.

Instead of these Nigerian rich folks to move in silence, they'll blow sirens announcing their present to every dxck in miles.
mostly Igbo men......alwys wanting to show off ......they don't know tht success is annoying to people........an Igbo man will have 5 million in his account next thing is to carry mopol and be running around........ meanwhile this job cannot go just like that without an accompanise.......they should start by flogging those police officers electric cable to get thier version of wat happened and their assumed roles .....trust no one except ur dog.

Now you are doing it to North that single handedly gave Nigeria T-Pain.

As you don also show the North that you can’t be trusted, just pray that another Northerner doesn’t become president.

You are saying the simple truth. Unfortunately, no governor is taking this issue seriously. Human lives don't matter to them
The governors are there to make money they don't care about Nigerians, but the people can protest, a serious nationwide protest forcing the governors who are servants of the people to sign death warrants for kidnappers and terrorists to save the lives of the people they work for, this is the only way. Nigerian governors are not responsible, they only care about their bank accounts and their children are not in Nigeria...they don't care about the lives of those they swore to serve and protect.

Why spend billions and trillions in a war fighting back terrorists, only to spare terrorists and kidnappers when they are convicted, it's baffling.

The people must galvanize and protest against insecurity like we protested against end sars.

Yoruba territory is now the safe haven for all Ibo billionaires...with the majority of them still based in Lagos rather than Poto poto region. ... Because of these criminalities, the average Ibo man has a rating of 5 and 6.Most billionaires in Yoruba land live in peace and are celebrated and protected by the people who benefit from their wealth, but this is not the case in the eastern region....

Yoruba people must be liberated and separated from all of these unholy alignments.....we have made enough sacrifices for our country....we are sacrificial lamb for the country to grow and yet the country never grows. ..so we need to go. ...Niger dela people have sacrifice enough , Yoruba people have sacrifice enough. ...

The Police force has a Special Protection Unit(SPU) to cater for personal security needs of individuals. They are always available on request and in the exact number of personnels you need.

To answer the question, the Police Force has this in mind when recruiting.
Thousands of Nigerian residents have police escorts yet, Police stations never run out of personnels.
The federal government needs to sign in a bill into law that will allow private sector to create the likes of Private Military Company (PMC), Private Security and Military Company (PSMC) and Private Security Company (PSC) that will heavily armed with weapons, helicopters and armoured vehicles.

That is Nigeria for you grin

Same goes with "The Grammy award winning Nigerian star" grin

American stars that have collected loads of Grammy are not addressed as "Grammy awarding winning"
Beyonce is Beyonce in the news
Lady Gaga is Lady Gaga
R Kelly is R Kelly

Only in Nigeria will you see that before the name of anyone with Grammy.
Very annoying

You're right. It's hard to find a genuinely made money in igboland. They're very few.

Mmmm... billion naira cashout for UGM, but the part wey sweet my belle na Meanwhile, the three policemen with them escaped.
But I wan make kidnappers catch Akpabio or Natasha or even Reno.
I wan check something.
Nigeria government and elites go only take kidnapping seriously when na dem go dey pay ransom.
How I wish like 37 different Evans fit emerge for the 37 states?
Dem catch Evans the kidnapper go lock am up na because na elite and top business people im dey kidnap.
Evans no dey kidnap poor person as na Euro/dollars im dey collect, not naira.
But the kidnappers over the past years have been kidnapping poor travellers, farmers, students, patients, NYSC etc.
As paupers were being killed 2015-2023, the government and elite cared less.
These past 2 years 2023-2025 have shown a trend of kidnapping elite - political, business, education, military.
They recently collected 100m from the Abia state HOA member and still killed him.
Let the kidnappers continue kidnapping the Nigerian elite and collect the embezzled funds from them and still kill dem after ransom collection.
I believe this is only thing that can wake up the government and elite to tackle dis kidnapping business.

I don’t trust Nigerians, they will abuse it.

Some will use their personal security to evade arrest, harass other people, carry out criminal and illegal activities, and many more.
People do this with government security personnels, how much more private security!

Government should create employment instead of creating hardship. When people are gainfully employed issues like these will no longer be in existence.

Compare the cult activities that were previously prevalent in higher institutions to the current state of cult activities. How many youths join cult again? Most of them are now chasing money through Yahoo Yahoo. Only the never do wells are left to run cult related activities.

I get your point on employment, but even in advanced countries like America, Japan, China, there are still those demons who will venture into evil, strong deterrence is necessary.

Now we will see realm action being taken .... because the focus of the kidnappers has shifted from ordinary people ...to the big boys ...quality over quantity. Not saying it is right ...just saying now security will be addressed.
Re: Obasi Lawson: Gunmen Kidnap PETROAN BoT Chair, Kill Two Aides In Abia by Mrexcell(m): 1:31pm On Mar 09, 2025
Those police men that escaped are definitely prime suspects nigerian security agents see igboland as a place to make money and nothing else only a change of the apc govt can change this evil mindset. I prefer travelling alone to the east than with any nigerian security agent who are mostly from either the north or west two regions that hated the igbos with passion.
