Gov_Fayemi_Speaks

Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) and Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, has said community policing is the way to go. However, collaboration with the mainstream security agencies is needed to achieve results as obtainable in western nations.

He stated this, yesterday, during a panel discussion on security situations across states organized by the NGF in partnership with the Center for Democracy and Development (CDD).

He said a vigilante group like Amotekun was achieving results with local intelligence in his state, Ekiti.

“We believe until and unless we begin to look at multi-level policing, that is what is happening in every nation around the world, we will not meet the demands of our people for local security and global protection.”

Fayemi, who disagreed with the argument of a participant that state police would be prone to abuse, said abuses meted on some Nigerians by some security personnel was proof that both federal or state police could be prone to abuses. He said as a sitting governor he was abused by the police during the 2014 election despite his immunity.

He said rather than condemn community policing, an institutional framework should be put in place to guard against abuse. “I’m not going to sit here and make an excuse that such powers in the hands of some local actors may not be abused. Anybody could abuse. It could happen, even if you devolve security to the local level. However, what we need to be talking about is what institutional frameworks should we put in place to ensure that such powers are not abused, not to use it as an excuse not to do the right thing. Because at the end of the day, there are mechanisms in our constitution to protect citizens’ rights.”

He also said the police get more funding from states than from the Federal Government. He stated this while responding to what state governors do with their monthly security votes, saying aside from the police, other security agencies also get support from governors.

“I also get feedback from other states in my capacity as chairman of the governors’ forum. There are hardly any of these institutions that you are talking about that we don’t fund. We fund the police — we fund the police more than the federal government. Quote me. State governors fund police more than the federal government. We buy them vehicles; we pay them allowances,” he said.

  307. In this awesome pattern of things you get a B+ for hard work. Where you confused us ended up being in all the particulars. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be more correct here. Having said that, allow me say to you just what did give good results. Your article (parts of it) is certainly pretty convincing which is most likely why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, even though I can easily notice the jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am not certain of how you seem to unite your details that produce the actual final result. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue but hope in the foreseeable future you link the facts better.
