The mode of operation of the police
force in any country, speaks a lot about
what the society would look like, if there
is one force that could be blamed for the
decadence in the Nigeria, then it is none
other than the Nigerian Police Force
(NPF).
Below are 5 practices by the NPF that
have been deemed insane, they are to
be abolished and the standards of the
force must be lifted a bit higher than it
is at the moment.
1. Arrest without warrant
This practice is totally unprofessional,
men of the NPF do not have the right to
just arrest anyone at will, the individual
being arrested has his rights. The
obtainable standard is that there is a
written warrant/authorization to arrest
whoever must be arrested, in doing this,
the rule of law will be upheld.

2. Unnecessary shootings
To a great extent, one will not be wrong
to say that many men clad in police
uniforms are trigger happy, and this
stems from the fact that they lack
proper training. The police is to serve
the civilian populace, civil being the
word, the streets are no battlefields
were sporadic shootings are acceptable.
Each policeman must be made to
account for every bullet fired, that way
sanity can be restored. There are other
means to bring people to obey and be
calm, other than indiscriminate
shooting.
