Won't the Federal Police still be in Oyo?

That means the Tiv Policeman would still be there

The Federal police would be there and have everyone like they do now, State police wll be mostly indigenes like Amotekun and Ebubeagu, fresh recruits

So won't their duties overlap?

How will both state police and federal police function side by side? Won't there be jurisdiction issues knowing how Nigerian security agencies can be?

Who would be first respondent in criminal matters? Is it the state or federal police?

Also, when it comes to prosecuting an offender is it the federal police that will charge a criminal to court or state police? What crimes can the state police arrest you for and what crimes can the federal police arrest you for?

Also, can Lagos state police arrest you and have you stand trial before a judge in Ekiti state?

Why do we do this to the men and women of our armed forces? How does anyone remotely think this is a good idea?

This guy touched on it briefly

"The Federal Police Service, of course, is no more the Nigeria Police Force. It is now to be called the Federal Police Service which will handle federal offences, being offences created under laws made by the national assembly. Then, the state police will focus on local crimes."… pic.twitter.com/uh2GhB05xZ

back in the 2010s, it was in teh news that MEND militanst were collaborating with mexican cartels to produce meth for export

but just like kidnapping, they are now making and selling meth in nigeria
and meth comes with serious environmental implications

Graduates after years in schools should come out to start Akara business, roasting corn or doing kulikuli, that's what is coming out of the mouth of the first lady of Nigeria..

I can overlook the stupidity of those living outside Nigeria supporting this government but the ones living in Nigeria, I mean if you can't pity yourself, pity your unborn generation at least..

When Nigerians call this man a tyrant, it amuses me.

Our Tinubu that is not a tyrant, If a Nigerian senator try this with him, the senator will be suspended and then arrested by either EFCC or DSS, unless the senator is a former governor.

Happy birthday Akwesenana.

Your moniker reminds me of a Ghanaian Highlife band I love so much.

Cheers!

I see...

There's a Ghanaian Highlife Artiste called Nana Ampadu. He was a part of a group called City Boys Band of Ghana

I rate them as the best Highlife band that came out of West Africa, but that's my own opinion sha

Enjoy your day, brother!

What about Pryce armah?

Spy360, see your OBI struggling to defend his unethical act of investing state funds in a company he had interests.

You could hear his supporters clapping for him while explaining the unlawful act. Shame.

Good job by the interviewer I must say.

There are others that are good.

Ghanaian Highlife Artistes didn't blow like their Nigerian ones because they didn't really do Praise singing.

But that band is my all time favourite.

So, I just listened to him and I hear him saying the Federal Police will focus on enforcement of federal laws while state police will enforce state laws particularly laws that have been domesticated by the state house of assembly.

I want to ask a question: Defamation is not a crime according to Lagos state laws but a civil wrong. However, in some states defamation remains a crime based on the criminal code and that's why some people will send police down to Lagos to arrest you and then have you detained in a state like Kwara where you will be prosecuted for defamation as a crime.

So, under this new state police system, won't people still use federal police to carry you from Lagos to Abuja to prosecute you for an offence that is not a crime under Lagos state law? Who will draw the lines between the jurisdiction of Federal police and state police?

I hope my response doesn't annoy you. But the answer to your question is this is Nigeria. The only solution to the issue you raised above is to avoid offending people you know are bigger than you.

You see EFCC doing things that only police are constitutionally empowered to do. Most federal agencies/institutions do things they're not mandated to do, this will not be different.

Regardless of what is written in constitution, enforcement will always be a major problem. As long as you have money to spend, they'll bundle your ops from whatever state you want, even if no crime was committed.

they have likely already made those changes when passing this law
Also several northern states already a have a state police force - Hisbah
