No State Has Built a Prison, Will Those Convicted for State Crimes Be Sent to Federal Prisons? - Omole If we are going back to state police and a person is arrested for a state crime, will they still be sent to a federal prison? Not a single state... has built a prison today. Dr. Charles Omole, DG, Institute for Police and Security Policy Researchshow more

Which prison are the people convicted of state offences under the present arrangement sent to? Just looking for unnecessary excuses. They want perfection in a day. What is wrong with using federal prisons initially while the states are building their own prisons?

It's an evolution, you don't expect everything to be done in one, after all Anambra is just getting its first government house after many years of its creation.

Bldgg prison is not rocket science. A prison can be built in 3 months. What we need is to identify all pertinent issues and address them to enable State Police to work instead wasting time arguing why it won't work. It should be clear to even the blind that Fed Govt can't assure security in the states.

States have have legislature to make laws, Judiciary to interpret laws, but no police to enforce the laws. The bottleneck for states to evolve a working Criminal Justice System was state police. Now states can reform their Criminal Justice Systems at their own pace.

Because people never build house, make dem no marry? As though there are state police stations and vehicles somewhere before now. The law paves way for more laws and more work

We too dey talk for this Country, No action.

Oloriburuku ni gbogbo yin ,most of the these basxtards are securing licenses to have private security firms because of their selfish interest, dont fall for their gimmick , most of them have private security companies ,they know all this state police issue will affect their businesses economical wise .we need to police locally, you guys are criminal, we want competitions ,we can build prisons in one month .

On top prison that can be built within 3 month? Is this man okay self?

Hmmm, no one thought of this too

❤️❤️

Rome wasn’t build in a day, can start with the police first and see what comes up after that?

Very valid constructive criticism....not all those mumu mob talking about state police harassing and rigging during election as if election occurs all year round.

State policing is a wonderful move but I'm still worried why everything is done in a rush. This will be another case of "subsidy is gone" without proper planing on how to implement it. States should get more from the federal allocation to manage the state policing

Akwa Ibom state built 3 Prisons in Abak, Ikot Ekpene and Uyo under Godswill Akpabio! Olodo people everywhere!

There are already state offences.

Hand over FG own to state and the federal government should build new ones in specific location

Pertinent ⁉️

State police, federal prisons. Confusion.

Idiotic statement to make. How long will it take for states to build their own prisons and jails? Six months or perhaps 3 months?

They will build it na ..is building prison rocket science

Nigerian politicians are dumb

He should have advised buhari to do all these when he had the opportunity

The truth is that rushing to implement state police without putting in place the necessary necessities is self-serving. Any good policy that has so many unanswered questions prior to implementation is hasty.

State Policing mirrors the Power Sector Deregulation: rushed, not strategic- and avoiding the REAL issues. The center merely wants to offload blame for insecurity, while the Governors want more control. But 36 separate police authorities in Nigeria is a recipe for disaster!!

Prisons are already decentralised via the 2023 amendments to the Legislative lists. The purpose of the State Policing reforms and the opt-in provisions in its amendments is to ensure States are no longer impedance matched to the least willing States in...

I’m sure the presenters themselves enjoy having knowledgeable people in the studio who they can have quality conversations with and not just propagandists

The state police proposal is for the 2027election and not for law enforcement.

Our prison are filled up of innocent people while the real criminals are been reintegrated

Prisons can be built in 90 days, so where’s the issue 🤷‍♂️

States will build their Prisons

You can even privatize prisons and government will provide regulation and oversight. Government does not have to do everything.
