Smart Adeyemi was in the Senate where the Police budget was passed, he knows the police structure is underfunded and understaffed.
National Assembly got N128bn to manage the affairs less 500 lawmakers, the Nigerian Police force got N441bn to look after 200m citizens.
The number of police officers Smart Adeyemi has guarding him, his family and properties across Nigeria, is more than the Policemen guarding at least 5 communities in his state.
We have a senate committee on police, how much has been released to the police force from the budget?
How much was released for equipment, technology and training. How many communities in his state are adequately manned by policemen? What is the essence of sticking with a centralised police force that leaves the rural areas exposed? The rural areas are ungoverned...
Ungoverned and neglected rural areas are natural habitats for criminals. Why are the senators afraid of pushing for decentralised police force?
