The Nigerian Police says its men will no longer be allowed to carry firearms during operations.

Instead, officers of the Police Force will now make use of electro-muscular disruption technology known as teaser in place of firearms.

The Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Muhammad Adamu disclosed this while addressing men and women of the Nigerian Police Force at the Police College parade ground, Ikeja, Lagos, on Monday.

Adamu said the use of the teaser otherwise known as rubber bullet will be used by the routine patrols, arrest duties and other low-risk operations “as strategic approach towards reducing incidents of fatalities associated with misappropriation of lethal weapons by the Police as first line of response to any threat.”

He was reacting to the spate of extra judicial killings by some policemen in recent weeks.


after robbers kill hundreds of cops per year, they will change policy. they should adopt a holistic approach, psychology, training, welfare discipline etc to get the best out of our cops instead of outright ban.

IGBERE TV recalls that a 20-year-old Ms. Joy Ifeanyi was shot dead by men of the Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS) on Saturday in Lagos. This comes less than two weeks after 36-year-old Kolade Johnson was murdered in cold blood by SARS operatives at a football viewing centre in Lagos.

According to the IGP, between January to April, 2019 “Lagos State has recorded four incidents of misuse of firearms which have resulted in extrajudicial killings of young citizens of this country and injury to others.”

“Its more worrisome that two of these incidents occurred within the last two weeks. Aside negating our professional calling, extrajudicial acts of any description or level by any police personnel is an unacceptable anomaly that creates distrust and disdain between the citizens and the police and widens the trust gap between them.

“In perfecting these initiatives, we shall be engaging with Human Rights Bodies, International Agencies Development partners and Civil Society Organisations.

“This is with a view to evolving a united front towards addressing these challenges on a sustainable basis and within the context of best international practices.”

Adamu further stated the Force will no longer tolerate the senseless killings carried out by some of its officers around the country.

“I must emphasise that enough is enough. The nation and indeed the Police under the current leadership can no longer tolerate abuses associated with the Police either in Lagos or any other part of the country.

“I have already ordered that a signal be circulated to all Police Commands and Formations warning of dire consequences against any personnel that by their incorrigible acts deviates from accepted Police culture and values.”

While warning the officers, Adamu added: “The choice now is for each officer to either resolve to perform his or her duties within extant rules, laws and policies or be prepared to be shown the way out of the system.

“Our visit to Lagos is also designed to condone with the families of the victims of the recent incidents of misuse of firearms or other forms of abuse of power by identified police personnel in the State and to share in their grief.

“It is also to reassure citizens that as an institution, the Nigeria Police will not condone any form of abuse of power, acts resulting in misuse of firearms, overzealous and sundry unprofessional conducts by members of the police regardless of his rank and position.”

It's dangerous being a policeman in many states in this country.
To many of this criminal elements, the only thing the fear is Policemen with guns, take those guns away, and you will have more dead policemen than dead civilians.

First time in my life Congratulations to me

davillian:
Bail is free you see it at every police station you enter but they would still demand bail and money for file.
Back to the mata
Nigerian police on regular duties should use pistols and SARS should seat down in the office but should only come out only when a distress call is placed
Just the way SWAT only comes out on terrorism , armed rubbery etc .

Good way to go.....

It is high time we introduced this technology that has been in existence for many many years in sane society to our country.

Just hoping that our policemen won't use it wrongly, they need an extensive education on it...

For those of us that do not know what TASERs look like or how it works, here you have it.......

The electric wave is the same as you hugging a transformer at Oshodi!!!.

CaptainFM1:
And whips!

post=77586040:
No it can't.
It has a limit to distance!
This is not for armed robbers by the way!

jyz200:

enomakos:

Arysexy:
Those bastards can even kill by the overdose of the taser which is supposed to be used just few seconds to weaken the culprit.

The animal in them will make them ' chuk ' d taser on Ur head for 1hour till u die, or use it on Ur blokkos to make u impotent.

Nigeria police should be left with baton only

seborrhic:

I wish....

Instead of using guns, they can equip them with stun guns.chai this might be mis-used but no one will die. unless the suspect is super hypertensive and above middle age.


Or they should use guns only when they have valid intelligence that the suspect is armed. but they never work based on valid intelligence. SARS never use the process of induction or deduction at all

And i think,there should be a general overhaul of te training procedures used in our forces. It is rather archaic and based largely off scripts drafted during dictatorial times. The police/SARS should simply go to Quantico (FBI headquarters) and borrow a leaf in behaviourial science and how to handle civilians. You cant be using a 1960's curriculum to train 2019 SARs/police. There's a terribly urgent need for a total overhaul of the training system.

Then there should be proper background checks. Half of all SARS are former cultists or reformed arm robbers. Perharps thisx x intentional? do the the police believe that you can only check criminal elements by using criminal or reformed criminal agents?
