That’s my fear, imagine some rash, semi-illiterate governors being in charge of state police. Na cartel kind of things be that…

They just gave themselves a pass mark, that democrazy has failed.

Nonsense after 27 years.

another UNIFORM and ROAD BLOCKERS just passed BILLS to take NAIRA BILL at existence in DAY LIGHT andNIGHT

There should be law not to make that happen.
The federal police will still be there

Audio passing. Until i see state police in my street all na wash and propaganda

Oh why now? It's too late.

There is fire on the mountain. Hopefully the state governors would not hijack it for their political empires.

That’s what will happen with our kind of politics!

The police force will be the pet dog of the governor.

State thugs and hooligans will now have more power since their master, which is the governor, will now have ultimate power over security.

The whole Federal force they goat scared of will disappear.

Sheuns:
Make I go Dey do press up and join Lagos state police.

I know you aren't Igbo but it will do the Yoruba alot of good not to appoint a single non Yoruba in their police.
I'm from Edo State and Edo State must not employ non Edo Indigenes in our police. Make everybody go they police and represent their own states.

commoditiesnig:
Why are you kids always critical about everything.. even this good news Nigerians have been clamouring eh!

Na wa for Una o.. grow up pls!

he's telling u d state police should have long bin created to avoid what we r facing now

Campaign strategy to fool the gullibles 😁. If you really believe that tinubu will sign that bill then you are very gullible. They just want to make it to seems like they care for the masses or so that peter obi won't use it as a campaign propaganda for his presidential ambition. I repeat, tinubu won't sign that bill untill he won his second term election so that northern governors won't that to frustrate his second term ambition, the more you look the more you see 😏.!

It's a good development, just hope some scrupulous big men and politicians will not be using them to intermediate and oppresse the people

Gbadugbakun:
Watch how they'll be clashing with normal police because of road blocks and bribes. Infact I see them abandoning their sole responsibility fighting with the police on who to man state roads.

You nor read the bill?
There won't be Federal police in a state that has state police. Even if there is a federal police, I believe the job of the federal police will become limited in a state...e.g they can only be seen on federal roads in a state for road blocks

That is going to be the defect/disadvantage of this bill. Our governors cannot just be trusted. The worst will be the state assembly. I hope the insecurity matters will not get worse if we have incompetent governors managing state policing

Earthstorms:
Hope they made the positions of police commissioners, Area commanders and DPOs elective positions.

The police to be accountable to the people and not to politicians as is the case in the US and other developed countries.

In the US, are the state police positions you mentioned here elected positions?

Kukutente23:
Why should the national police council appoint commissioners of police for the states
Why not have state police councils and why should state police not be headed by inspector generals instead of commissioners? I hope they are not trying to make commissioners of police ultimately subservient to the Federal police

lol

And how would they fund the state police when funding federal police is wahala

I just dey laugh in state police

macphilip:
I hope a state like Lagos or Ogun will not rebrand area boys, agbero, omonile, party thugs and employ them as state policemen and policewomen

What do you expect They be turn their thugs into state police men. I pray God because Nigeria still has a long way to go.

This would systematically cause more problems than good if it eventually got passed and assented to my the Senate and the President of the federal republic respectively.

It might sound all crazy now, nobody should ask me “WHY”, we’re all going to understand “WHY” I said this when that time comes.

Sugarboyy:

The county sheriff is voted

Earthstorms:
Yes

Do you stay in the US?
Who are the people that votes these state commissioners of police in the US, the states residents?

Hmmm they never pass state police they treat another tribe anyhow I kn get involved in this GOD help

Sheuns:
Make I go Dey do press up and join Lagos state police.

Lagos State corp would be automatically be conscripted into the state police force.

Even states that don't have the money to pay teachers and other civil servants are clamouring for state police

This is a most welcome development.
I see it being given accelerated assent in the Senate.
We are getting there slowly but surely.

Good. Remaining local government and county police.

We really need state police. With guns and it should only be the indigenes

My siğnatűre

No be everything we go copy oga.
The sign of intelligence is to figure out what bEst works for you
We copy bicameral legislation and see what nonsense we made of it
Separated federal and state but conveniently ignored local government

You only copied it on paper. You didn't make real attempts to implement or use any of it to your benefit. Worse, you inserted Sharia, a system completely incompatible with the bicameral system, into your constitution to ensure its failure from even before its beginning.

The existence of Sharia meant a two-tier policing system was in place from the get-go. That has never worked out anywhere, even in all of the over 54 known Sharia countries out there, where we see to this day Islamists killing other Islamists(non-Islamists have their lives truncated without so much as a peep from the establishment) while those in power watch as the norm.

Of course they would hijack it since the governors are the ones who will be responsible for paying their salaries.

If this state police nonsense comes into effect we shall see a proliferation of small arms and ammunition in the country amount touts and layabouts

WizardOfNG:
If Tinubu wants it passed, and I believe he does, the Senate will accede. Believe that.

MIT has been in APc manifesto since its establishment

aaaaabbbbbccccc:

Most importantly, they should be paid well. Atleast 450k upward..

@ the bolded

Some of Una Comments go just dey make me laugh after reading it
