Abstract

The rising insecurity in Nigeria has cast doubt on the effectiveness of the Nigerian Police Force, which operates under the control of the federal government. This has led to calls for the decentralization of policing powers to the states as a possible solution to addressing the security challenges. This study investigates the prospects and potential challenges of implementing a state policing system in Nigeria, using both doctrinal and non-doctrinal research methods. A descriptive and analytical approach was applied to interpret empirical data gathered from 1,051 questionnaires distributed to randomly selected respondents. The findings indicate that the current centralized structure of the Nigerian Police Force is inadequate for ensuring public safety. Additionally, the synthesis of the data shows that state policing holds significant potential for effectively combating insecurity in Nigeria, although issues such as corruption and lack of funding remain significant obstacles. The study concludes by recommending reforms to the existing legal framework to allow for the decentralization of policing in Nigeria.Keywords: Policing, Insecurity, State Policing, Nigerian Police Force, Police and Security

Abstract

The upsurge of insecurity in Nigeria questions the competence of the Nigerian Police Force under the auspice of the federal government to combat insecurity. Some concerns decentralizing the policing powers to states would offer potential benefits in curbing insecurity. This study was designed to interrogate the prospects and possible challenges of the state policing system in Nigeria and contribute to the discourse on security in a heterogeneous country like Nigeria. The study adopted a hybrid research methodology through a fusion of both doctrinal and non-doctrinal methods. Descriptive and analytical approaches were adopted to interpret empirical data collected through the distribution of 1,051 questionnaires to randomly selected respondents to ascertain the prospects and possible challenges of state policing in Nigeria. The study found that the current structure of the Nigerian Police Force can no longer guarantee the safety of the Nigerians. Furthermore, the synthesisation of empirical findings revealed that state policing has the prospect of competently combating insecurity in Nigeria but corruption, and lack of funding amongst others are possible challenges. The study therefore concluded by recommending the amendment of the current legal framework of policing in Nigeria to make way for decentralization.

Abstract

Any country's development, particularly that of its legal system, depends on having access to an open system of justice. The Nigerian justice system has been called weak, corrupt, and unreliable, which has made the public's mistrust of the court system worse. Thus, this paper interrogated the adoption of modern technology through live telecast of judicial proceedings as a means to access justice and restore the integrity of the Nigerian judiciary. It drew lessons from the UK, USA, South Africa, and India. The study used a doctrinal approach to legal research and a qualitative research methodology. The study found that the live telecast of court proceedings is constitutional when sections 36(3) and (4) are interpreted using a purposeful approach. Accordingly, the study came to the conclusion that live telecasts of court cases in Nigeria are possible. However, a few potential obstacles to its functioning in Nigeria include inadequate internet and power supplies, non-implementation of financial autonomy for the judiciary, absence of a specialized legal framework, and insufficient technological know-how of judicial personnel. The study made several recommendations, including giving the judiciary financial autonomy, passing particular legislation, enhancing internet and energy access, and providing judicial staff with ICT training.
