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

writetopoka:
No they should have waited for me to come and pass it for them. Till this country tumbles upside-down, before they will learn to do the right things.

No criminal gangs can hide under the noses of the locals or more acquainted with the terrain than the locals. An empowered and organised local security will nip a lot of things in the bud and reverse all of these security challenges.
Thank you HOR and God bless you all God bless Nigeria

Nonsense...
Na now day break
They should have kept playing politics with it.
This bill have been on for over two years
But it's easy for them to pass Old national anthem....
Bunch of crazy mofos

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

Vision101:
➜The governor appoints on the recommendation of national police council and the state house of assembly approves.
State commissioner of police and inspector general of police - just nomenclature. He is still in charge of the entire police structure of the state irrespective of the nomenclature. He's answerable primarily to the governor and state house of assembly.

INTEGRITYA1:
The above quoted portion is to checkmate the State Governors and to reduce their power. All things being equal, the bill should be helpful in combacting criminalities and insecurity issues.

Kobojunkie:
You forget that the northern Fulani who now occupy many of the security posts in most local communities are also acquainted with the terrain? If they also occupy many of the posts in the local police, imagine what that would mean for this local militia then.

GreenCovering:
➜Local policing is primarily constituted by the indigenes of that locality. It is essentially empowering them to be the strongest force within their own community rather than being left helpless in the face of intel, movements and eventual attacks by these non state actors. So it won't be state policing again if recruits are posted from Abuja or something. Also with empowerment comes proactiveness rather than an endless wait for a chain of command to be activated from Abuja before a deployment can be made every time something suspicious is noticed around. State governors have explained how times without number they were snubbed or undermined after escalating critical security intelligence before attacks occurred. I am sure they would have been more proactive if they had had at least a certain level of organised deployment that they could put out at such times, that is, if they were not already undercutting the capacity for these actors to move into positions and eventually launch attack on innocent citizens.

Kobojunkie:
These claims are baseless!

GreenCovering:
➜Talk is cheap

Kobojunkie:
That's what that means.

The four that voted against it should be impeached, arrested and locked up for 10years while also freezing all of their Bank accounts.

b3llo:
They wont be subservient to the IGP... Do you know that IGP cannot wake up and order CP to do anyhow because 2 cant be foolish at the same time

favor914:
I hope u & kobojunkie have plans of enrolling in the state police force? if not u should be arrested and locked up for 10years while also freezing all of your Bank accounts.

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.

Kobojunkie:
Meaning the power over the state is retained by the federal government in this? How is that a good thing?

Kobojunkie:
The two-tier policing you have at the national level will trickle down to the state level, given that Sharia remains enshrined in the constitution. What this means is that there will remain one law for Islamists and terrorists and another law for non-Islamists even at the state level.

You better hold on to your local militia groups until you are sure you have completely removed Sharia from the Constitution of the nation. Otherwise,...

Wande22:
➜For instance Amotekun I haven't seen a non-yoruba as an Amotekun Operative unlike LNSC (Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps) that has a minuscule percentage of their workforce as non-yorubas/non-indigenes

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

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.
