One of the major concerns of those against state
police has been that governors will misuse their control over state police.
There have been concerns that governors might use state police for personal and
political ambitions.
In order to avoid the abuse of the use of state
police by state governors, I prescribe that there shall be a unit called
"State Police Abuse Complaints Unit (SPACU)" in the Police
headquarters in Abuja, which shall handle all complaints of abuse of power by
members of the Public.
The unit will be subdivided into six,
representing each of the six geo-political zones for effectiveness.
Special Police Abuse Courts should also be
established in each state to try police officers who abuse their privileges.
These courts shall conclude sittings and deliver judgements speedily within six
months, circumventing unnecessary delays and adjournments.
Thus, Police officers who allow themselves to be
used by governors to trample on the right of citizens will be made to face the
law and judgement delivered in their cases speedily. Where a governor or any
politician is implicated in the abuse, such a fellow should also brought to
book and made to face the music. Where a governor is so indicted, he should be
made to observe the judicial context of his indictment after leaving office.
