A DAILY CHRONICLE OF MY PRESCRIPTION FOR NIGERIA ( A book writen by Dr Thomas-Wilson Ikubese, in 2011). RECOMMENDATION 12 STATE POLICE ABUSE: 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. (Book available for free at mpfng.blogspot ). God bless Nigeria.
