The body language from the majority of the state governors already indicated that they are not interested in the state policing

Tinubu should drop this dangerous idea. State police will be used by the State Governors against anyone that disagrees with them politically. That scenario would spell doom for the country's democracy. Furthermore, the usual Nigerian factors like ethnicity will come into play heavily. Another thing is that most states can barely afford to pay salaries of their civil servants currently. It is highly doubtful that they can train, equip and pay additional thousands of state police personnel. The end result will be chaos and more crimes in most of the country. Please Nigeria is not ripe for this. Apart from the US, most other countries don't even practice such a system. Before you talk about state police, you must first put in place a system where all the States control their resources and then sends a little thing to the Federal Government rather than the other way round. Just like in the US, and some other countries that practice true federalism. What we should be talking about now is how the Nigerian Police can improve upon their efforts to put in place community policing. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

State Police cannot really work in Nigeria with the current structure, the cost of running police is not like running Amotekun, also a lot of states in Nigeria might not be able to run it. If some states are struggling to pay minimum wage, is it now police that wear uniforms, buy AK-47, pistols, tear gas, bullet proof, bullets, vehicles, emergency control centers and so on that will find it easy to fund the police? The only way I feel it will work is if states are given full or at least 80 percent control of their resources, that way they will have no excuse to fund the police, however some states(though a few) might still struggle. But that will make every state more productive because they will stop running to Abuja and they will not be able to any blame to the FG. The problem now is would the FG and the senate agree for such, because you will be removing the spoon they have been using to feed from their mouth. That is why I don't believe Tinubu and this present istration is serious about the state police thing, I just believe they are using it to buy time to decieve people that they are doing something to help the insecurity, me personally I feel they know it will not work without doing restructuring which they will not want, so they just want to keep playing the people till their tenure finishes. 11 Likes |

State policing is the way to go. You don't expect one Usman Sani from Katsina to come and be policing people in Nnewi. People he doesn't even understand their language.

States that find it difficult to pay salaries of civil servants want to add to their burdens with state policies. Most of these government want state police because they believe that who play the piper dictates the tune. Opposition are already n trouble in some states 2 Likes |

I hope they don't turn it to a weapon of tribalism when it is finally implemented Example : A bunch of police of TRIBE A extorting a group of non indigenes from TRIBE B and telling them, GO BACK TO YOUR STATE IF YOU WANT TO COMPLAIN. Example: state police hears that there is an attack in a non indigene area and pretending not to know so as to give their own people the upper hand. Are we really ready for state police? 3 Likes |

Bad idea... Governors would turn them into puppets and use them for their selfish political motives. Only power-hungry governors want this. Nigeria isn't ready for state policing! There are some things that need to remain at the federal level and policing is still one of them. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Kano is not in . Abba Yusuf, the state "sit-in" governor said it. And recently, the state's "invincible governor," Rabiu Kwankwaso yesterday said the security issue is solely rest with the federal government. https://www.timesng.com/news/more-news/683882-nigerian-military-can-end-security-challenges-kwankwaso.html?fbclid=IwAR1oeEoUxr1ekcuvaHL1RrlKmSLyF-enPlF_THe-QyP8AojjkFSpVJuczMU 1 Like |

We will be able to identify lazy brain dead governors. They are the ones that will reject it. Lagos will give her police power to issue speeding fine, crossing highwaÿ fine and littering fines. The police can make money out of people without collecting bribe. It will reset people's brains they just prefer the monkey way of thinking. If you know the amount of revenue some police generate for their state in some countries you will cry. The question is are they going to be independent of decision making? Tinubu will give Fulani Herbsmen free will to do whatever they want. 3 Likes |

helinues: It seems they don't want to owe armed men salary. They should just do massive recruitment for a specialized branch of the Nigerian Police or Civil Defense. Even the way the police structure is configured, funding is still an issue. So, the funding issue will always be there. In some other countries, the police institution is to some extent revenue-generating. You know, it has revenue-generating potential. I mean, if done well, you know that everybody will agree to it. Let’s accept that the funding issue will always be there whether it is done centrally or you are for state police. It might have bribery and corruption issues from day one. 1 Like |

Brendaniel: Amotekun in all SW states is a big evidence that state police can and will work. You know Aketi was clamoring for firearms but buhari didn't approve. The structure is almost on ground in the SW. They only need to upgrade the existing structure, provide better training, provide modern gadgets, Arms and technology and recruit more operatives. If some states have been paying salaries for Amotekun, all states can afford to finance the state police by cutting excessive spending. Security must be their number one priority 8 Likes |
