Omo, big news don land for Nigeria as President Bola Tinubu don talk say make police nor dey guard VIPs again. Na wah!
For correct security meeting wey happen for Abuja, Tinubu yan say dem go use police officers to dey tackle crime better instead of follow big men wey sabi chop money. Omo, this one fit change the whole security matter for Naija o!
As e be, police wey suppose dey protect people for street dey waste time dey follow politicians and big business people, while normal citizens dey fear to waka for night. But with this new policy, dem go redeploy police to places wey dem really need am. Na so dem fit help the communities and boost public confidence in law enforcement, dat one no be small!
Omo, the President don also approve make dem recruit additional 30,000 police officers to fit balance the issue wey dey vex plenty Nigerians. According to Bayo Onanuga wey be Special Adviser, e talk say dem go need arrange better training for police to make sure say dem sabi their job well.
Security expert Boniface Obuseh talk say this move go help bridge the gap between “ordinary people” and VIPs. Him reason be say when these big people dey face the same security wahala as everybody else, dem go fit join community to find solution to the matter.
Irikeghe wey be Managing Director of Watertight Securities talk say make VIPs go find private security if dem want guard. E add say the police no go fit dey everywhere even if dem try, na why dem go need small change. E go make sense if dem fit use private security too, until we dey fit upgrade police systems wey make sense.
But no be all dem security companies get guns. E good to have law for dem to carry better equipment to fit handle urgent cases, if not, wetin we dey do sef? One survey show say 63% of Nigerians dey fear as dem dey waka for their neighborhood, na serious matter o!
As things stand, if dem fit carry out this restructuring well, e fit make police presence strong and give everybody the same level of security, one for all and all for one, abeg!
Naija no fit dey continue like this, make government hear our plight, our wails, no be to just focus on people wey don already chop enough. If dem no feel safe, wetin about us wey dey struggle every day?
In short, make we dey hope say this new plan go bring better results, nto confidence go return to we citizens, and na when we fit talk say our leaders dey really care about our safety!
