Erosion of Discipline in the Nigeria Police Force and Its Implication for National Security CHALLENGES OF INDISCIPLINE IN THE NIGERIA POLICE AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY Ph.D. THESIS THE INSTITUTE OF AFRICAN STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN IBADAN OJO SUNDAY ABRAHAM B.Sc. [ANI.SC] M.A. [Peace & Conflict Studies] MATRIC NO. 72406 Thesis submitted to the Institute of Africa Studies (IAS), University of Ibadan in partial fulfillment of Requirements for award of degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PCS) of the University of Ibadan. NOVEMBER, 2011 ABSTRACT As an important arm in governance and social control, attention has been focused on the police. Corruption, inadequate funding, poor governance, and public attitude to the police force, under-staffing, and inadequate training have been identified by scholars and policymakers as major problems of the Nigerian Police. However, little has been done on indiscipline in the Nigeria Police in relations to these challenges. This study examined the linkages of indiscipline with these issues and their implications on national security management in Nigeria. Quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and analysis were used in the study. Qualitative data were generated through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD). Quantitative data were obtained through a structured questionnaire. Three hundred copies of the questionnaire were administered in the sample areas randomly selected from the six geo-political zones in the country and two hundred and eighty (86.7%) were successfully retrieved and were augmented with data collected through interviews and focus group discussions with top echelons in the police, junior officers and the ranks and files, traditional rulers, civil societies, police service commission chairman etc. Frequency count percentages and Pearson chi-square were employed to analyze the result. The Nigerian Police Force has not been able to contribute effectively and efficiently to the maintenance of national security of Nigeria because of indiscipline. There is lot of laxity, insolence and disrespect among men and officers of the Nigerian Police. Corruption, inadequate funding, poor training, and interference of governments in Police duties, under- staffing and poor training are results of circumvention of standards. Rules and orders stipulated by the Nigeria Police Acts and provisions by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are not adhered to. This results in their dismal performance. Greater percentage (69.9%) of the Nigerian populace are not satisfied of the increasing impairment of the police effectiveness (2 = 28.805; df = 2; P < 0.05) and its severe implications on national security (2 = 11.877; df = 2; P < 0.05). Other factors such as non-conducive working environment, lack of motivation, erroneous perception of national security from coercive force perceptive contributes to unsatisfactory performance by the Nigeria Police. Also communication gap existing between the police and the general public makes security to be seen by the public as purely police affairs. Lack of motivation, under-staffing, poor attitude to the police force, corruption, poor governance, inadequate funding, non-conducive working environment, and poor training are all outcomes of indiscipline. The communication gap between police and general public should be blurred. Furthermore, the police force and general public must be sensitized and reoriented on what constitute national security. This will result in effective and efficient management of security in Nigeria. The prospect of effective and efficient policing of Nigeria lies in addressing indiscipline jointly by the government, the Police Force and the general public. Massive orientation of the police personnel and general public on implications of indiscipline on national security is urgent. Key words: Indiscipline, Corruption, Nigeria Police, National security.

  • Political Economy of Policing in Nigeria
    International Journal of Innovative Social Sciences & Humanities Research 7(4):113-127, Oct.-Dec., 2019 © SEAHI PUBLICATIONS, 2019 www.seahipaj.org ISSN: 2354-2926 © SEAHI PUBLICATIONS, 2018 www.seahipaj.org ISSN: 2354-2926 Political Economy of Policing In Nigeria 1Uche Eme-Uche (Ph.D.); 2Chigozie Ifekwe Okonkwo & 3Ugwu Kenneth Sunday 1Department of Political Science, Evangel University, Akaeze, Ebonyi State, Nigeria [email protected] 2Institute of African Studies/Department of Political Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria [email protected] 3Department of Political Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study places recent trends in policing in Nigeria into an historical context, emphasizing the critical importance of political, economic and social forces on the formation and development of police institutions and practices. Specifically, the study describes two major developments in policing in relation to the Nigeria political economy: colonial and post-colonial policing. Each of these developments has unique characteristics. At the same time, each retains certain structural imperatives which transcend the particulars and ultimately tend to preserve the police as front-line defenders of the status quo. Using the Marxist political economy framework of analyses, the study contributes to a better understanding of police as an agent through which the character of a government and political system may be assessed. The central premise of the framework is that the economic structure of a society determines the character of the superstructure, which includes policing. While adopting qualitative research design, data was sourced from secondary materials like books, journals, magazines and internet. Accordingly, the study recommends the need to reform the deplorable architectural state of service in Nigeria police to enable them meet up their constitutional obligation of securing life and property of the people.

    Nigeria Page 1 of 27 Nigeria Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2002 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 31, 2003 Nigeria is a federal republic composed of 36 states and a capital territory, with an elected president and a bicameral legislature. In May 1999, President Olusegun Obasanjo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was inaugurated to a 4-year term after winning elections in February 1999 that were marred by fraud and irregularities perpetrated by all contesting parties. However, most observers agreed the elections reflected the will of the majority of voters. These elections marked the end of 16 years of military-led regimes. The Constitution provides for an independent judiciary. Although the judicial branch remained susceptible to executive and legislative branch pressures, the performance of the Supreme Court and decisions at the federal appellate level were indicative of growing independence. State and local judiciary were influenced by political leaders and suffered from corruption and inefficiency more so than the federal court system. The Federal Nigeria Police Force (NPF) was tasked with law enforcement. The Constitution prohibits local and state police forces. Internal security was the duty of the State Security Service (SSS). "Rapid Response Teams," staffed by police, remained intact in most states, but these teams had a reduced role and a less menacing presence than in previous years. In response to increased incidents of armed robbery and other violent crime, the National Police instituted an aggressive anti-crime campaign dubbed Operation Fire for Fire, which was responsible for human rights abuses. The police were unable to control ethno-religious violence on numerous occasions during the year, and the Government continued its reliance on the army to quell many instances of communal violence.

  • Nigeria's Great Speeches in History
    Nigeria’s Great Speeches in History The Speech Declaring Nigeria’s Independence by Nigeria’s First Prime Minister Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa – October 1, 1960 Today is Independence Day. The first of October 1960 is a date to which for two years, Nigeria has been eagerly looking forward. At last, our great day has arrived, and Nigeria is now indeed an independent Sovereign nation. Words cannot adequately express my joy and pride at being the Nigerian citizen privileged to accept from Her Royal Highness these Constitutional Instruments which are the symbols of Nigeria’s Independence. It is a unique privilege which I shall remember forever, and it gives me strength and courage as I dedicate my life to the service of our country. This is a wonderful day, and it is all the more wonderful because we have awaited it with increasing impatience, compelled to watch one country after another overtaking us on the road when we had so nearly reached our goal. But now, we have acquired our rightful status, and I feel sure that history will show that the building of our nation proceeded at the wisest pace: it has been thorough, and Nigeria now stands well-built upon firm foundations. Today’s ceremony marks the culmination of a process which began fifteen years ago and has now reached a happy and successful conclusion. It is with justifiable pride that we claim the achievement of our Independence to be unparalleled in the annals of history. Each step of our constitutional advance has been purposefully and peacefully planned with full and open consultation, not only between representatives of all the various interests in Nigeria but in harmonious cooperation with the administering power which has today relinquished its authority.

This paper examines the local administration that came into being in the area from 1809 to 1976. With the success of the 19th century Jihad, the Emirate type of administration was imposed in the area. However, unlike in Hausa land where the Jihadists used the preexisting political structure, in Fombina (Adamawa) the Fulbe found predominantly non- centralized and autonomous chiefdoms. The administration established in the area can therefore be regarded as a pyramidal political system. By 1903 the British conquered the Northern Region and subsequently institutionalized the Indirect Rule system which was to be run through local chiefs. In Adamawa, the Emir/Lamido became the Native Authority supported by a bureaucratic organization known as the Native Administration which was resident in Yola. Below this, with the creation of ‘homologous’ districts, there was the district administration headed by the District Head assisted by other officials. This type of administration continued to exist with some modifications up to 1976. However, by 1976 there was the Local Government Reform which introduced elected executives at the local level and removing the traditional chiefs from having any major role in administration at the local level.
