Insecurity: Senate moves to decentralise police force, condemns alleged corruption in security agencies
Senate, on Wednesday, approved the decentralization of the police force to achieve efficiency and tackle insecurity challenges across the country.
According to him, “there is a lot of incoherence and inter-personnel conflict which have led to a lot of antagonism within the security organizations.” He added that, “most of the agencies are working on isolation with very little, of any, coordination between them. This most unfortunate situations now can be seen from the recent face-off between the office of the Inspector-General of Police and the Police Service Commission which degenerated into open litigation in the law courts.
He blamed the failure to define functions and boundaries between intelligence agencies on defective laws governing the operation of the Department of State Services , National Intelligence Agency and Defence Intelligence Agency . “The security agencies tend to acquire modern technology and other force multipliers in isolation which resulted in the multiplication of incompatible platforms belonging to the different Arms of Services. This affected beneficial relationship and coherence of security operations.
He affirmed that that most security agencies institutions, particularly the Police lack well trained personnel, functional and well equipped training institutions.
