Solomon Arase, Chairman of the Police Service Commission, advocates for a comprehensive overhaul, disbandment, or the introduction of distinct uniforms for the Special Police Constabulary.

In a statement released on Thursday by the PSC spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, Arase expressed concerns about the unethical behavior exhibited by members of the Special Police Constabulary, emphasizing the need for immediate action. The Commission is in communication with the Inspector General of Police to address the issues surrounding the organization’s structure and operations.
The statement noted, “Reports of their unprofessional conduct range from highhandedness in dealing with citizens and barefaced extortion on our roads and communities.” To rectify the situation, the Commission proposes a distinct set of uniforms for Constabulary officers to differentiate them from regular police officers. This measure aims to enable proper tracking of their conduct and absolve the Nigeria Police Force of blame for the Constabulary’s misconduct.
Additionally, the Police Service Commission calls for the disbandment of the Special Police Constabulary in states where officers are not salaried and adequately funded. Arase, a retired Inspector General of Police, emphasizes the urgency of clearly defining the Constabulary’s operations, including rules of engagement, to enhance accountability and prevent abuse of power.

A heated political exchange has erupted within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential race, as camps backing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s rivals push back against his claims of superior popularity, especially in the North.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso rejected Atiku’s assertion that he remains the dominant northern vote-getter, insisting that such claims do not reflect today’s political realities.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement, aligned with a potential Obi-Kwankwaso ticket, dismissed Atiku’s influence in the North as largely elite-driven, arguing that Kwankwaso enjoys more genuine grassroots support.
Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi also reacted, faulting Atiku’s position and questioning the logic of relying solely on regional identity as a basis for presidential ambition.
Atiku, in a recent interview, had maintained that none of his northern rivals, including Kwankwaso, can match his electoral strength, while downplaying Kwankwaso’s influence beyond Kano State.
His remarks sparked criticism across political circles, with some opposition figures describing them as arrogant and dismissive of other contenders.
Kwankwaso’s camp, however, maintained that both Kwankwaso and Obi have more “organic” support bases compared to politically induced followership, warning that such comments could deepen divisions within the ADC coalition.
Amaechi also argued that the ADC presidential ticket should be determined through a competitive primary rather than consensus, insisting that all aspirants should be tested at the ballot.
The growing disagreement highlights rising tension within the opposition alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections, as key figures intensify positioning for the party’s presidential ticket.
