Details of the proposed legislation seen by this paper, shows that the bill will allow an independent state police for which the governors would be empowered to appoint commissioners of police in their states.
The South-west recently set up a regional security outfit network, Amotekun, to address rising insecurity in the area. This set it on a collision course with the federal government, which accused it of illegality. * Shall be in office for a period of five years only or until he attains a retirement age prescribed by law, whichever is earlier.
* Where the Commissioner of Police feels that any order given is unlawful or contradicts general policing standards or practice, he may request that the matter be referred to the State Police Service Commission for review.
The earlier the better
Make the federal police the 'FBI' and let the states and local governments take care of the day to day policing of their domains.
We are OK with Amotekun,it is too late
It's fine that they're doing this however, I'm not too comfortable with this bit: 'The decision of the State Police Service Commission shall be final and shall not be inquired into by any court' If we haven't tackled the possibility of corruption, I don't think this is ideal.
We'll get there. Amotekun is creating a path way. Nigeria will be better.
Restructuring is gradually coming up
I'm an advocate of community policing.
