How State Police Bill Is Designed to Prevent Governors’ Abuse of Power
For many Nigerians, this has always been the biggest concern about State Police.
What safeguards are actually in the bill?
I break down the oversight mechanisms, intervention powers, and protections designed to prevent abuse.
Do you think they are enough?
"It is not my duty to speak for the Benue state government, but from what I have seen, any attempt to institutionalise engagement is always met with resistance. They try to support us, but it's 50-50. In Taraba, we are very sure that, whatever the issue is, the state government—you can see and feel their backing. The complexities of Benue mean that, sometimes, you're not sure." — Moses Gara, commander of Joint Task Force (JTF) Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS)
@sholard_mancity South Africa stopped being Africa the moment it started aiding and abetting xenophobia. When an African brother is playing, we will know. Mexico all the way.
@channelstv Citizens paying for the war on every micro and macro economic climate. I hope those who clapped when the war began are observing the consequences of the unnecessary war.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
@channelstv Pure witch hunt. The judge is displaying a Master card game of revenge. It sounds like he crossed paths with Elrufai before and he was bruised.
See how they are running: The NAF sighted ISWAP members attempting to bury their fighters killed in the airstrikes, which left about 30 insurgents dead.
@channelstv This is pure bigotry. Where were you when President Goodluck Jonathan was the president? The late President Buhari himself took over a failed government and economy. Let's get our records straight.
@AJEnglish That is a blatant lie. What about targeting the infrastructure of the Gulf States without provocation? Is that promoting peace and stability? Iran should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. The war is unwarranted, and I do not dispute that. Dialogue is the way to go.
@Edrith_Sunnah Your statistics are completely wrong. I don't know where you got this nonsense from. But I assure you, Makurdi town in Benue State alone has more than a million residents. Ask for the last census figures of 2006.
