 Many Nigerians agree that the police need to be reformed and participants at a virtual conference say better funding is one way that can be achieved. They also advocate transformational leadership in the force. Plus TV Africa's correspondent Destiny Momo has more. This group known for governance x-rays police reform and the true state of the relationship between the police and the public. The Nigerian police has been bedeviled by a series of attacks on their relationship with the populace. The NSAS protest was only one of many such reactions. Does the police depict friendship or hatred for the citizens? The factors range from financial constraints to corruption and lack of training of personnel. Speakers at this virtual conference touch on these factors and other boiling points. As we start off into this topic, it's the fact that we, you know, a police that needs to be frank, they want to know that they are serving the people. We are not considered as friends and this brings us to the issue of the police need for the police reforms to take place. The cracks unveil the options to consider in having a police to serve wholeheartedly. They mention development strategy, adequate infrastructure and reforms. My institution and wanting to have same played out and still playing out is a fact that whoever violates or infracts the law is always dealt with based on the mechanism of structure in place in my system. The system has an inbuilt self-check mechanism in most security agencies. I have worked in security, I have travelled for over 10 years now. Justice Okojie believes lower cases should be given rapt attention for people not to rot in jail. Also monitoring of judges should be considered as a debbie might suggest that the police also needs to play down on the use of force but at service. There are so many cases that are coming, coming, coming and if you are not managing the cases well like okay these new cases put them aside, finish the old ones, you understand you will just find yourself in a quagmire. The relationship will not be a foster one even though it's a law enforcement agent but it is service. The nation seems to gloss over obvious infractions that embolden the police officers to engage in criminality. They ask questions like why police officers are allowed to go around in unmarked vehicles. They covered your number plates as they patrol. Police trust fund and community policing are perhaps some solution options.
