This news is false. SPU has always existed and it was never set up for elites. They are accessible to all Nigerians

Only in Nigeria my country will Police that’s funded with taxpayers money will set up a unit to cater for protection of the elites in the country.
It's not a free service. The Elites are paying heavily for such security. If u can afford it u will get it.

Take a listen to yourself. The duty of the police is to protect every citizen irrespective of status. If the elites want more security, they can hire private security. The police is for everyone and should not be paid for elite services.

It is unfortunate that Nigeria and Nigerians are now divided into fragments of which one of it is Elites. Senseless people keeping to their everyday division of the country .
Very soon they will openly create state called Elites state.
If the elites are protected, what becomes of the common man?
Dear ris Goduuu ooo.
That's how the system has been since the beginning of the world. You people complain over everything and that's really affecting your productivity cuz you don't see success in your efforts

Instead of making noise, work harder to become one of the elite that will be able to afford that. Till world ends, poor people will continue to exist. Even if you sell Nigeria, divides the money and give each person 10 billion naira each, some will still become poor in a matter of months. Work harder legitimately and gets promotion to elite level that will be able to afford the service. Even in advanced countries, poor people and beggars still exist. Work more and complain less.

So instead of reduce the insecurities in the country, you create a special unit of police for the rich.

You will still need the votes of the common masses. I don't blame you. It's the useless hungry supporters I blame.

..abi.
And in 2027 during the election campaign they will tell and promise Nigerians that they will protect lives and properties..it's a pity

The police announced the setting up of Special Protection Unit and you are saying that it is not new. Good education is really essential for the kind of job you are doing.

I also laugh when i see idiots fighting tribal war in nairaland, defending thief's and heartless politicians as if they care about the important of their life's cool

Stay in poverty, nobody is forcing you to come out. Keep complaining if that is parts of your mission on earth. If my advise has no meaning to you, carry your bed; sleep and wake under poverty. Be complaining as of your complaint will change what they have on ground

Private security or police security it doesn't matter aslong as they follow the rules and laws of that specific assignment.

Yes the police is for everyone and the large part of them still are for everyone but police have units for job efficiency. Elites are part of everyone too and if they want extra security for hire and the police is available why not?

Let stop with this unnecessary hate for elites not all of them are criminals or bad.

What a failed attempt to provoke me. It doesn't change reality though.

By the way, this statement was made by an aide to the Niger State Governor, not by the police.

So the poor should remain open to attack eh?

And you people expect not to go to hellfire abi.
Re: IG Sets Up Special Police Unit For Elite Protection by Originalsly: 4:41am On May 08, 2025
This is one of the main reasons for not forming State Police. But if the IG can allow this for one State ... why wouldn't the elites in the other states demand same? The elites need special protection then they should provide it themselves out of their own pockets ...not the taxpayers.
Re: IG Sets Up Special Police Unit For Elite Protection by chatinent: 5:00am On May 08, 2025
Don't get it twisted. They have the unit already. They are pouring more funds into it.


The goal of the NPF seems it only wants to protect the elites ..from everyone else.

To those of you crying, were the police, whether special unit or not, protecting you before?.....
