Okay

Those arm_robbers in government uniform almost killed me at T-junction EPE, just because they couldn't find fault on my car documents.

Scrapping SARS is the first step to re-orientating the Nigerian Police. Regular Policemen now tag themselves as Special Squad because of how they see these SARS Guys operate without being punished. Secondly, Nigerian Police needs to be allowed the use of Pistols and not wielding AK47 in Public like Talibans without uniforms.

Furthermore, the Nigerian Police must be dismantled to allow a maximum of 3 Officers in one patrolling unit while being equipped to be able to communicate and ask for re-enforcement should they be dealing with an issue that cannot be handled by 3 officers, reasons being that they become violent in their numbers.

Lastly, the Government should stop posting Police Officers from the North to the South, those who knows the Terrain should be allowed to Police it. You cannot bring a person with a different cultural values to go do police work in a place where he doesn’t know how the people live.

Satan66:
I see nothing wrong with Sars
Haters should go and kill theirselves

You be next victim

Until we start killing sarz and their family members they won't stop .

Ejimagifty:
All police officers should be given cane and koboko instead of guns. This will ensure no one is killed

...you will just encourage armed robbers in Nigeria

True talk op, then it should be #reformsars

PatrickOkunima:
Obviously, No! If SARS is disbanded today, the members of the SARS team will continue with the killing in whatever role they find themselves in future.

Calling for an end to SARS is a good start, but that does not solve the problem. Nigerians should instead, call for a complete overhaul of all the security forces, including military and para-military.

This overhaul should include: re-orientating the men, retraining them, especially in respect to arms handling and meting out appropriate punishment for offenders.

A little explanation:

1. Reorientation - The security personnels should be made to understand what their primary responsibility is - to protect lives and properties. You'll be shocked to learn that most of them do not know. They should be taught that, no matter the circumstance, you do not draw your weapon, or point your rifle at someone you're supposed to protect.

One of the commandments given to us at the military training school, "Do not point your rifle at a friend (unarmed person)." We were told then that it was a dismissal offence to point our weapons at someone who is not armed and a threat to us, let alone pull the trigger.

I don't know the kind of message they pass to our security forces at the training school these days, but I think it should be looked into.

2. Training - Our men are not properly trained in handling rifles, especially the para-military (police, immigration, custom, NDLEA, Civil Defense, etc). Each of them you see wielding a rifle is a threat to your life. Hence, you have to be careful when dealing with them. I see lapses every day in respect of this. For instance, We're supposed to point our rifles at a certain angle and to ensure that there's no obstruction, before clearing it. A good number of these uniform guys don't know this. You see them discharge their weapons anyhow and for no reason. The government needs to do something about the training.

3. Punishment - I didn't witness this in the service, but was told that in those days, before a shooting exercise commences at the range, two graves are dug. One for the victim and one for the culprit, in the event that a soldier shoots another dead, deliberately or mistakenly. Same should be enforced. Any law enforcement agent who shoots and kills an innocent person, should face judgement, and if found guilty, executed by a firing squad, to serve as a deterrent to others.

4. Accountability - Those days in the military, you give account of your ammunition. If you're issued 20 rounds, you cannot return and handover 19 rounds to the armorer without explanation. In fact, you'll write a statement explaining how you used the ammo. A detailed investigation will be carried out to ascertain your claims.

It should be implemented fully, in all forces.

5. Mental Evaluation - Our security men should be mentally evaluated at the point of entry and periodically while in service. Anyone who fails the test should be discharged immediately. Most people will not agree with me on this, majority of these guys you see wearing uniforms are not normal. For some, their cognitive and reasoning abilities have been ruined by drugs. They're not different from armed lunatics.

Until these and other measures are implemented, the killings will not stop!

end of sars , crime will increase..

Ejimagifty:
All police officers should be given cane and koboko instead of guns. This will ensure no one is killed

or even pepper spray or taser

Y'all cowards know what you need to do to stop all these bullying but fear no go allow una. Make an example of a few uniformed men tjem go to war. Bythe time the dust settles everybody will know his role in society. Bit you peope keep making excuses for bad behaviour. SMH

bleskid:

Is crime not on the increase?

That was how Adegbite omotayo , the dpo Agbara police station cornered my 'wife' out of my home when she went to the station to report a case. It was when the woman almost died that she had to confess and mentioned name. It is a taboo in Esan land for a married woman to have sex outside her husband.

Though I blamed the woman , I also blamed Adegbite for confusing her . I have left everything in the hands of God and I also believe one day I will have enough powers to revenge, physically or spiritually. Adegbite omotayo, you are wicked. People like you are not supposed to be in the police. U must be weeded out by fire by force.

Yes I agree with you, those are the steps to be taking not ending it.

it's easily said than done... isn't the same Army responsible for the killings of protesting Shiites members of elzakazy the other day... so what do we have to say.. this people are same.. change their clothes and they still exhibit the same character... I just believe some of them are under the influence of some demons

Hmmm, is this the best you reply to an article? Is this how best you thought you can express your option? Imagine if someone said this to you how will you feel? There are better and mature ways of replying and expressing your take even if the OP is wrong.

If you were meant to come back to this post in 2-3years time, how will you feel? Ashamed, proud or fulfilled?

Have a lovely day, God bless you.

Please read to understand. The only area I said the military is better than others is in weapon handling. How many times have you heard that a soldier discharged his rifle "accidentally"? That's a police term for incompetence in handling a rifle.

Having said that, all the points are applicable to all arms-bearing organizations in Nigeria.
