What they are saying

Commenting on the latest development, Liang said, “I welcome the constructive engagement between Janmmes Duddrudge and Geoffrey Onyeama. We will continue to monitor developments and engage all parties.

Why it matters

Police reform in Nigeria is long over-due. Once implemented, human rights rating in Nigeria will be much preserved and improved.

It will also help put to bed the displeasure at the outcome of the #EndSARS protests, restore public confidence in the Nigerian Police and the security architecture put in place to secure lives and properties.

On the part of the UK, the relative peace will help strengthen and protect bilateral ties between the two countries.

    The British govt needs to help Nigerians on Police reform exactly how it reformed in 1829 under Robert Peel, the then British Home Secretary. What we need is Police Service, and not Police Force. Police need to provide services and not issue of brute force. Above all, the reform should be genuine and not as others in the system, where proposal papers will end up in Suya shop.
