er dadaThe Federal Government has directed the police hierarchy to commence the recruitment of special constables nationwide preparatory to the implementation of its community policing policy.
To begin the recruitment of constables, Adamu has directed state police commands to set up screening committees., the IG ordered all state Commissioners of Police, Assistant Commissioners of Police and Divisional Police Officers to liaise with traditional rulers and community leaders in their domains to screen volunteers who would be engaged after passing the screening tests.
It read, “INGENPOL directs that you be informed that Federal Government has given approval for recruitment of special constables as a step forward to enhancing community policing policy nationwide. One of our correspondents had reported that pastors, Imams, teachers, lawyers, journalists and youths would be considered for the volunteer job.But the special constables, who would not be armed, are expected to handle charge room and administrative duties, crowd control, accident scene duties, alternative dispute resolution and other less sensitive and less risky functions.
Lalong, who is the co-chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum Governance Programme Steering Committee after their meeting in Abuja, said they also met to approve the proposed 2020 work plan, programme of activities and design policies for the implementation for good governance in states controlled by the All Progressives Congress.
It said, “Considering the horrifying activities that have drawn global attention, the forum calls on the governors to work towards the creation of a security network similar to Operation Amotekun to obliterate all forms of insecurity in defenceless communities. Meanwhile, Mba said the police were putting final touches to the implementation of the community policing policy, adding that they were in the process of setting up the screening committees.He said, “We are on the verge of implementing the policy; we are putting finishing touches, we are about setting up the screening committees for the special constables.
‘‘We know that there is no going back on the operation and what we are doing now is to kick-start it. The primary job of any government is to provide security. If we cannot do that, then we have failed as leaders. We don’t want to fail. Life is precious and we will not allow our people to be killed anymore.’’Speaking on the recruitment of police special constables, the leader of the Yoruba World Congress, Prof Banji Akintoye, said no member of Amotekun could be recruited as police constables.
Good one. Thanks
Special greetings to the IGP
Other nations are engaged in tech advancement and battery powered cars, Nigeria leaders are busy playing ethnic hunting. So unfortunate that our leaders are bereft of intellectual capacity to lead us. What a bunch of morons and cow heads..!
This Govt knows that AMOTEKUN will fight insecurity to the ground. some want to protect their interest (Headsmen / Boko Harram/ Kidnappers). For the NPF, you want to take glory for defeating crime that even your officers partake in. Police will continue to defeat police ideas.
If you don’t know by now that this guys have a sinister motive then you need to wake up from your slumber. Amotekun really jeopardized their well ostracized plan and now they are planing to mitigate the effect not to obstruct their plan. Wake up south.
This is coming rather late. We know it's all about Amotekun. Why are the Fulanis scared?
Eheeeeeeeen
Story, for now in South West we already have our own community police aka Amotekun
These guys don't understand anything, FG should not have any business with community policing. Allow the state to form them and let the control domicile with the states. What I see here is Abuja trying to find job for the boys. Same old story, nothing will be achieved.
The FG should know that in community policing, the west would have people from the west and the east would have people from the east and so on. You can't post a N.E constable to Ondo. It's no longer community policing if you do!
Community policing is for the states to handle and not the FG!
Amotekun birthed this.... Congrats, Amotekun has come to stay.
They want to 'spoil ' everything now! 😕
Hope is not goingto be fulanis and northern muslims as usual? Ofcourse,that have been the Hallmark and scheming of Buhari and his northern oligarchy.
Just liaise with Amotekun and stop wasting your resources in SW.
They want to recruit their boko haram brothers. Don't worry you hear, MBuhari. Amotekun will protect the SW
Better
Who is scarf of Amatekun? I thought fg said we are not ripe for community policing
Recruitment is where the problem of Nigerian police starts,all sort of characters are recruited-ex convicts,armed robbers, political thugs etc, no background checks,until we get the recruitment right, the level of our policing will remain rooted in mediocrity
Lol
“We believe that a security outfit like Operation Amotekun will serve our communities better than the proposed community policing which is similar to the work currently being done by informants in providing intelligence to d police.” ~ Dr Bitrus Pogu (The MBF National President)
If only SW trad ruler will exclusively go with Amotekun, there will be a problem
Hi, I make high quality designs at quite affordable rates. To your surprise, you will be wowed with what you'd get. Lemme be your design plug 🔌 A try will convince you. hit me up if you need my service. Reach me on whatsapp Kindly retweet my hustle🙏🏽
All those who voted APC, how market? You have not seen anything yet... kese kese is on the way oo!!
They shouldn't send northerners to the south ooo. Their 'rehabilitated' boko Haram terrorists should remain with them. They don't want states to organize their own security so that the states won't be in control of them. Theywant to recruit the ones that will kill victims of herd
I was wondering why they açcepted Amotekun. They have another plan. Why hadn't they thought about community policing before?
You can't recruit more people in a corrupt agency. Reform should come first.
The fear of 'OPERATION AMOTEKUN' is the beginning of wisdom. The FG is only chasing shadows by this belated and uncomplimentary move. There is no life after death. The south west has taken the country by storm again. Enough of mediocre governance in Nijeria.
....of Nigeria on the State police must be whittled down , there must be a high level of autonomy of the States in this matter . Anything short of this will be back to where we started from
Thank God , the Federal Government is waking up on the need for community policing but I doubt it's sincerely here . For there to be community policing in the true sense of it , the control of the Inspector general of police and the president of the Federal Republic...
FG wanna meddle with this initiative of ÀMOTÉKUN
This is another plot by this govt to recruit and dispatch bokoarams to various communities.
Let each states handle community Policing abi una dey mad ni
If this is kind of community policing system that will be introduced then the aim is defeated again, because it won't solve nothing but more chaos.
They want to deploy more terrorists into community policing cuz of Amotekun and the willingness of other federating units to establish similar outfit. Stop deceiving yourselves & the gullible ones!
Another strategy by the regime to frustrate Amotekum. SW be wise!
Always ill informed.
FG wants to control the community policing that the state's have been agitating for. Why not support the state's to do the recruitment while they purge the present police force to be more effective and efficient.
I disagree with this .. Nigerian police is already corrupt. They will only corrupt the amotekun group
fulani people don't know anything about economy, they after how to loot, cage the destiny of youth, use lies and deceive to governor.
PoliceNG please give second thought. That Quality Policing is different from quantity policing. Let your Matrix for selection or sorting reflect the ethos of Character. The Idea is commendable.
Stop recruiting more people to an already over bloated civil service. We need to empower of people not through security jobs but by engaging in productive venture that will help reduce crime and criminality
