"Nigeria Police came out yesterday claiming the people on the motorcycles were vigilantes. I don't know when police officers started saluting vigilantes, and those vigilantes were carrying sophisticated weapons. Do they think Nigerians are daft? Or we don't we have brains? I could swear I saw one of them carrying what looked like an RPG in that video, or maybe I'm not seeing clearly. We live in a troubled country, and it's caused by the political class because of their selfishness and desperation to win elections."

This blue-suited fraud also got Austrians to come establish a K9 unit in Enugu to supposedly tackle same insecurity.His paid yesmen went to town with this same refrain.He also supposedly got 'drones'. There were also the forest guards.This man is a buzz-words grifter. All glitter

@PoliceNG If you reduce the motion-speed of the video, you'll see this.

Please confirm if vigilante groups are allowed to carry this kind of weapon?

[Mindset🗝️ @Mindset_Post]

According to Bayo Onanuga, the individuals on the video are registered hunters.

Of course, they are hunters hunting humans for ransom

State police is a KAROTA/NURTW with a gun. They will be badly trained and poorly funded. The governor is the IG, AIG, DIG, and CP. Whoever forms the structure, owns it!

[Máfejópamí @VillageParrot]

There’s even no point in engaging this foolishness.

Just listen to the stupidity rolling off his tongue.

The day someone shows me evidence of Tinubu empowering citizens rather than extracting from them, I'll gladly reconsider my criticism.

Until then...👩🏽‍🦯👩🏽‍🦯👩🏽‍🦯

Dr
Are you equating Dibao, SNAP, and TEFAP to a Nigerian House member sharing macaroni and vegetable oil?

SNAP? That's what you are reducing to sharing rice? Because you want to defend the insane statement from Bayo?

I am not surprised you are defending anything about BAT, but I am surprised you still don't realise how tone-deaf you sound.

From malfunctioning BVAS machines to bread thrown from moving cars and voters openly boasting about selling their votes for 15,000 Naira, the 2026 Ekiti governorship election was anything but ordinary. Add an APC chairman caught serving as an INEC observer who later claimed the photo was AI-generated, and you have a weekend that laid bare the state of Nigeria's democracy. APC's Biodun Oyebanji won with 319,224 votes, but the real story is not the result, it is the process that produced it. The fallout is just beginning.

Nigerians na some of the most gullible people in the world. States wey no fit provide:

QUALITY Primary, Secondary and Tertiary education
Good roads
Quality Health care delivery system
Pay Civil servants a living wage on time

Na State Police dem go afford.

Some of una dey suffer from madness, you just no sabi.

Bayo Onanuga: "One day I was traveling from Ibadan to Lagos and Google maps told me there was a go slow, I decided to take Ijebu Ode via Shagamu, I just found myself on a paved road and Concrete road and I said waaaaaw...."

📊 NIGERIA'S HUNGER, POVERTY AND COST-OF-LIVING SNAPSHOT 🇳🇬

🍽️ Global Hunger Index Ranking

2022 — 103rd out of 121 countries (Serious)
2025 — 115th out of 123 countries (Serious)

Change — Nigeria fell 12 places in the ranking.

🔴 People Facing High Levels of Acute Food Insecurity

2023 — 18.3 million
2026 — 30.6 million

Change — +67.2%

📉 Poverty Rate

2023 — 56%
2026 — 63%

Change — +12.5%

🥗 Cost of a Healthy Diet (Per Adult Per Day)

Between 2023 and 2026, Nigeria experienced a sharp rise in food insecurity, poverty, and the cost of maintaining a healthy diet. The number of people facing acute food insecurity increased by over two-thirds, while the cost of a healthy diet nearly doubled. At the same time, Nigeria's position in the Global Hunger Index worsened.

Also make the commissioners of police answerable to the state govs, let us begin from dia first.

[Sarauta Maryam @SarautaMaryam]

OPINION: Want to know whether State Police would work in Nigeria?

Start with a simple prototype.

Let the President direct that every Commissioner of Police (CP) and General Officer Commanding (GOC) be an indigene of the state where they are deployed.

If having security chiefs who understand the language, culture, terrain, and local dynamics improves security without descending into ethnic bias, political intimidation, or abuse of power, then it strengthens the case for State Police.

If it fails, it exposes some of the same risks State Police advocates often dismiss.

Before redesigning the entire security architecture, a smaller real-world test may tell us more than years of political arguments.

Sometimes the best way to settle a debate is not with theories, but with a simple litmus test.

You are talking about a country where we woke to a different anthem overnight. A country where 32 of 36 govs are standing on the mandate. A country where the judges are gifted cars and houses on a daily. Softly, softly. Calm down, we are about to witness a new low again🤬

[Adedayo Osijo @mrdeey_]

The Senate passing the State Police Bill does NOT mean we now have state police or a new law.

To create state police, we must alter Section 214 of the 1999 Constitution (CFRN), which currently mandates a single, unified Nigeria Police Force.

Constitutional amendment is a rigid process governed strictly by Section 9(2) of the 1999 Constitution. The Senate passing the bill is just Step 1 out of 4.

Here is what the rest of the legislative amendment journey looks like before this text becomes operational law:

1. House Concurrence: The House of Representatives must pass the exact same bill by a 2/3 supermajority.

2. State Ratification: The bill goes to the 36 states. At least 24 State Houses of Assembly (2/3 of all states) must approve it by official resolution. This is where political and funding debates will truly heat up.

3. Presidential Assent: Only after 24 states sign off can President Tinubu formally assent to the bill under Section 58 of the Constitution.

The Senate’s vote is a massive political milestone, but until the House concurs, 24 states ratify, and the President signs, the centralized NPF remains the sole legal policing authority in Nigeria.

Read the constitution, not just the breaking news banners.
