Shekarau noted that it would be more effective in addressing the current security challenges in the country.
He the involvement of communities in state policing would enhance trust, cooperation, and collaboration between the police and the citizens. “I’ve been an advocate of community policing. It is different from what is being paraded as state police. Community policing means community watch. “Within one to two years in Kano State, ask anybody; we don’t have any vices, no drugs, nothing in all the communities because that is community watch.
“But if you allow the communities to select with the backing of the government, the government will pay them all their allowances, provide vehicles for them, and support them, and there is a chain of command from the state to the local governments, to the wards, and even to the villages.“Nigerian police and the military cannot monitor Nigeria. All in all, we don’t have up to 400,000 policemen in Nigeria to monitor 220 million people. Egypt has 80 million people and four million policemen.
