State Police To Be or Not To Be.

Whether to be or not to be, debate on state policing is on-going.

The demerits of having state police outweighs the advantages if there is any.

Imagine that Offa robbers were arrested by state police, would the investigation see the light of the day.

Nigeria is not ripe enough to adopt state policing, seating governors would oppress the opposition using them.

Rather than advocating for state policing, Federal government should equip existing security apparatus.

Some of the states find it difficult to pay civil servants.Backlogs of salaries are owed yet they want additional burdens.

How we can have effective policing system.

News have it that 80 percent of Nigeria policemen are appointed as private security details to some influential Nigerians. As a matter of fact, we have not adequate number of policemen and there is need for more. The remaining 20 percent police about 80 percent Nigerians, the elite among us are about 20 percent of the populations. No wonder armed robbers most of the time have a field day. The recent killings in Benue went on for long hours, seven men of Fulanis extraction were burnt alive and no one could stop them, where are the policemen?. For effective policing system, government should do the needful, you will be surprise some unscrupulous individuals have private police protection. No country grow like this, government have responsibilities to protect lives of its citizens.
