The governors are screaming state police so they can have control over an armed police of their own just as the president has control over the federal police.

For state police to be effective and even the present police, it must be made an independent institution with laws guiding them.

Unless we enable stronger institutions, we’ll just be running in circles.

guobe:
You nailed it,they will just be tools used by politicians to do their bidding.
I have not seen any new thing proposed for the state police that is not in the present police set up.

Leepeak:

femi4:
State police bring security close to you

They are part of your community, so they are quick to sense danger within and outside

FSBoperator:
They are not against state policing for their state and region.

They are against state police for other states and regions.

The question to ask, is why so?

Sheuns:
If we ask the governors to explain or detail how state police will reduce crimes and also the banditry going on, they’ll say gibberish.

guobe:
What is stopping the present policing already in place from roasting them.

Fortune109:
Mainly because of Lagos...

Additionally, we must reconfigure our police to let them know they serve the people and not a few politicians, rich and wealthy people.

If these are not put in place, we’ll definitely go back to square one, but this time we’ll be battling two bad police forces.

FSBoperator:
Not just Lagos but every other state outside their SE.

You can see that not one of them has provided a cogent reason why state police is bad other than governors will abuse it .

Their reasons are simply because with a state police in place, states can effectively enforce state laws which they are totally against because states always enact laws to protect the indigenes and promote their rights and privileges above outsiders.

FSBoperator:
But you guys all cheered and welcomed the formation of ESN .

Why then is it hard to have a police force that is composed wholly of your people that will be committed to providing policing and security ?

How can you support the illegal criminal infested ESN and be against state police that will have a legal framework ?

I believe the issue isn't your rejection of local policing for your state and region but for other states and regions.

As it stands now, only the SE and the Fulani are against State police.

Why is that ?

Fortune109:
This is why I hardly reply people...What do you think Mainly means??

FSBoperator:
If you don't want State police for your state then don't .

But to demand others who want one not to have it is exposing your true intent on why you are against it which is the same position shared by the Fulani elite.

State policing is actually a positive step, and it’s a system already practiced in advanced countries. With this in place, it will be harder for criminals to commit offenses in one state and to Abuja, like moving from Oyo to Abuja. It will also help reduce the excessive power of the presidency, as states become more independent and less reliant on the federal government during elections. In other words, governors won’t feel pressured to defect to ruling parties just to secure a second term.

Very ok.

Your collective madness is what should be considered.

We already have a police force in Nigeria and there are still alot of security problems in the country.

There is now a proposal to have a state police in all states of the federation.
I am still thinking what really will the new state police bring to the table?

Will the state police be better funded to fight crime with modern sophisticated security gadgets or it will be like the current policing set up we are presently having.

We can't change a system if we continue doing what we were doing before.
I still believe that the police force should be bolstered in the modern way of policing as it requires fewer man power.
We should embrace quality over quantity.
My thoughts though.

guobe:
You have a big point there,let's see how it goes.

FSBoperator:
Their house , their rules.

Thank God you guys are now exposing why you are against state policing.

Laws enacted by states are on behalf of the people.

If you don't like it, get out of Dodge.

Get kidnapped by bandits first, then from bandits' camp, we can discuss this
