We gathered this bandits made use of weapons likely higher in grade and sophistication than AK47. Do our NPF have such in that community? 🤔
SeverusSnape:
Their weapons would not be able to match those of the bandits, if na you, you no go run?
Is this hellhole even worth dying for?

A reminder that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu is yet to address the nation or condole with people of plateau state, and you want me to to believe that such a clown is a leader.

Let President Trump just cough now on the matter, that's when you'll see the frogish eyes clown writing epistles upon epistles on twitter and sitting down like someone suffering from down syndrome sickness speaking incoherently In the name of addressing the nation.


I don't know why president Trump just completely gone mute on Nigerian Christian genocide. I really don't know why. There's no Nigerian leader that will speak for poor Nigerian Christians.
trump too has been humbled by bandits

Cowards, we don't need 200 naira loving inefficient cowards in our police force, they should all be sacked.

Does he look like one who will say anything? The antecedents is already there, I'd rather wait for a ship in the airport than waste my hope on someone who's out of touch with what goes on right under his nose.

One Amotekun officer is better than 15 police officers altogether. Amotekun will still enter forest occupied by bandits and kidnappers but Nigerian police will rather run away.
Amotekun works with the police. On their own they cannot take care of bandits. It's because you guys don't have the kind of banditry that exists up North that you are saying this.

Yes, because developments like this, if true, show why the NPF (Nigerian Police Force) is moribund and ineffective. NPF was okay probably till the end of the Nineties but Nigeria has changed vastly since then.

Meaning State policing is the solution and change required for crime in Nigeria that has changed significantly to become a far bigger existential threat than before because of terrorism, nationally organised kidnapping and banditry influenced by religious extremism.

They work with Nigerian army, not police.

Police will never join Amotekun to comb forest. I know what I'm saying.

That's federal police for you. They are not indigenous to the state so they don't have that natural emotional attachment to it. They are only interested in extorting motorists. This is why state police is imperative and urgent but Tinubu is foot dragging for ulterior motives. It didn't take the national assembly more than one day to amend the constitution for a new national anthem for Tinubu, so why is state police being deliberately delayed?
Because all states cannot afford the kind of state police that would take care of bandits and regular armed robbery.

To police Jos alone, an indigenous state police of plateau would need a budget that surpasses the state's total budget.

State police is not formed by spending from security vote..infact the security vote won't be enough. self. For an effective force for plateau, the state would need upwards of 6 or more trillion naira, if not more. That would go into buying drones, tactical gear, training facilites, detention facilites, police cars, communications equipment, arms(sensible arms, not AK 47 that looks like it was made in 1847), armoured vehicles, helicopters..yes helicopters...and we haven't even talked about the things like forensic labs, digital records, prision facilites, even training more judges, and so forth that the state needs to do. Even things like street lights, and CCTV cameras are necessary, and so forth.

A lot of you that shout for state police, just know that na politics people dey play, especially APC. Unless you want a state police that would be knocked away by bandits wielding SMG's and RPG's on the backs of technicals or one that is just Nigeria police part 2...just know that no state can even afford any police force.

We can afford it, if everyone pays taxes. Taxes that you Nigerians don't like paying. Taxes that would make you to shout that the person proposing it is an oppressor. Yet, the government, before any looting commences, has a limited budget of less than 3 trillion naira to police 230 million people. It is just that there aren't too many bandits, and then there is the army, otherwise bandits would have long since been running the country from Aso Villa alongside Boko haram and millitants.

Make we dey face reality. Unless all of you are ready to pay the kind of taxes that they pay in saner climes, nothing for effective state police.

All the more reason why it cannot be effective. If they need army to back them up, then they are useless as a state police or proto-state police.

EIther your state finds 20 trillion or more naira annually for state police or forget about it.

according to residents, the Police were nowhere to be found as they all ran away.
Probably outgunned and outnumbered.

Not true. All members of a nations armed forces must work together, in a joint task force, to deal with internal terrorism.

External threats is what the Army, Navy and Air force of nations have exclusive authority to fight. Even then they can deploy specialists from the police and other complementary forces.

If na you, you go wait? Do you think bandits care for anybody?
If it’s their fathers too, they’d ask him why didn’t he run?

I think it’s a disgrace anyways, possibly due to the more sophisticated weapons those terrorists come with

He's busy attending to his own country's problems.

How a nation of over 220 million people can be useless enough to be seeking the daily assistance of another country's president in solving internal crisis, is a disgusting 21st century anomaly that needs to be studied in schools globally angry.

Reverse is the case right now in Nigeria. Even soldiers are now running away from the bandit

They are trained to die but they are not paid the amount of money worth dying for. I will run too if I was in their shoes. You can't be paying me 100k salary or less and ask me to fight those who are ready to turn my wife to a widow and my children to fatherless without the government giving a hoot.
Re: Police Threw Their Guns And Ran Away When The Bandits Arrived Angwan Rukuba by payloader(m): 10:13am On Mar 31
Nigeria policemen no longer receive the kind of training they were meant to because most of them just bribe their way through. Besides, the average policeman is no match for terrorists. The only kind of police they use in combating terrorists is the counter terrorism unit ( CTU) and unless they are drafted to the scene of conflict, they don't have authorization to engage terrorists like the army.
Re: Police Threw Their Guns And Ran Away When The Bandits Arrived Angwan Rukuba by Kobicove(m): 10:14am On Mar 31
They were outnumbered and out gunned by the bandits, it would have been foolhardy to stay back and confront them undecided

Me personally don't blame the police , ask your selfs this question , are the police well armed, how many were they in the police station, are we sure if there was any ammunition at the time of that incident in the police station
Thank you , you sound like someone who knows alot about security, forget the noise, it could HV been mostly women on duty, I don't blame to police too, they are humans after all and have family

You always come out with ludicrous figures and claims to support your viewpoints I believe you adopt dogmatically rather than objectively.

If the 2026 budget for the NPF is #1.31 trillion Naira, where do you get your ludicrous #20 trillion Naira "annually" you claim Nigerian States need to fund State-controlled police forces?

You make sense sometime but are difficult to take seriously because your arguments sometimes appears driven by your emotions and sentiments rather than cold facts and verified statistics as the case will always be for those dispassionately objective.
