I was expecting more. We need to see a public well crafted rules of engagement so all citizens can know what to expect from the police and help monitor compliance.

Saying they shouldn't engage in stop and search unless it's necessary. When is it never necessary to them?!

All stop and search will now be "absolutely necessary" even if you're innocent.

This reform is not enough at all. Add more

We don hear. There's nothing here that they've not said or done before now. Let's hope they are serious with these measures. On a closer look though, there are still a lot of loopholes that the SARS officials can take advantage of in order to brutalise civilians, extort them and cause mayhem as they usually do. The so-called reforms are not reformative enough. We need a complete overhaul.

All this one na radio talk, just give them 2 months from the day of their implementation they will all return to status quo that is if some command will adhere to the reform at all. Nigerians with their initial gra gra (IGG) what did the whole noise about #ENDSARS yeild? Government will never take us serious until we stop ending our displeasure half way.

Barred from conducting stop and search operations unless absolutely necessary

This is the most important among all in my opinion.
