Will you do anything about misconduct in the police?
Yes. I will push for an independent Internal Affairs Agency to investigate misconduct within police and other security services. This sits alongside my plan to set up Anti-Banditry and Kidnapping Special Units in every state command, and to strengthen coordination between security agencies so we get faster responses and stronger intelligence sharing.
Where this comes from

My plan to tackle insecurity covers every part of Nigeria, the North West included. I am committed to setting up Anti-Banditry and Kidnapping Special Units in every state command, made up of highly trained, mobile personnel, to strengthen the response to banditry and kidnapping. I also want to adopt a firehose principle for security coordination, driving continuous, high-volume coordination across jurisdictions so we get faster responses and stronger intelligence sharing. On top of this, bordering states will jointly plan operations, share intelligence in real time, and coordinate responses, and I will push for an independent Internal Affairs Agency to investigate misconduct within police and other security services. This is how we rescue your community from banditry, kidnapping, and cross-border crime.
