United States Congressman, Riley Moore has reiterated his call for the decentralisation of Nigeria’s police force, urging that state governments be given greater responsibility for local security.
Moore made the call in a post on X, urging the Federal Government to intensify efforts to protect citizens, particularly in the Middle Belt, where communities have faced repeated attacks by extremist groups.
The lawmaker has taken an active role in highlighting security concerns in Nigeria, with a focus on the persecution of Christians and the rise of extremism. His position aligns with the policy direction of Donald Trump.
As part of his engagement, Moore led a bipartisan congressional delegation to Nigeria to assess the situation on the ground. The delegation met with victims, religious leaders, and senior government officials.
He has also advocated for Nigeria’s reinstatement as a Country of Particular Concern over alleged widespread religious persecution, a designation introduced under the Trump administration.
STATE POLICE! STATE POLICE!! STATE POLICE!!!
“Africa has come of age. It’s no longer under the orbit of any extra continental power. It should no longer take orders from any country, however powerful. The fortunes of Africa are in our hands to make or to mar. For too long have we been kicked around: for too long have we been treated like adolescents who cannot discern their interests and act accordingly. For too long has it been presumed that the African needs outside ‘experts’ to tell him who are his friends and who are his enemies. The time has come when we should make it clear that we can decide for ourselves; that we know our own interests and how to protect those interests; that we are capable of resolving African problems without presumptuous lessons in ideological dangers which, more often than not, have no relevance for us, nor for the problem at hand.” Murtala Muhammad Ramat 1976 (34 days before his assassination) If this speech was made half a century ago and people like you are still celebrating interventions from so called ‘outside experts’ then we must accept that Nigeria is moving backwards.
America never police their people and neighborhoods na Nigeria dem wan come give direction. No be small thing.
It's the audacity for me! Imagine this mushroom opening his mouth to yan dust! His country has the worst record of gun violence in the world where they kill each other per second per second. Nonsense.
Anonymous reply, even the devil can quote the bible. Africa is ripe, yet you'll kill people for coming out to protest. Africa is ripe yet terrorists are killing people in Nigeria and the government behind it. Africa is ripe yet Nigeria is so backward. Other Africa may be but not Nigeria. Before Nigeria will become ripe it must be divided into it's true nature into different countries. Have you forgotten that Nigeria is an artificial country created by the U.K? Hypocrite!
Anonymous reply, you're just one of them terrorists. America and Israel are doing the Lord's work, and you and your evil politicians can't stop them.
May GOD BLESS this man for his genuine Love for the Christian Faith
The Usual Criminals Don't Want More Policing.
Not only that, every state should start managing their own resources. The federal link need to be broken and weakened to avoid Islamization.
Anonymous has forgotten that if they left Nigeria on it's own, it would have been divided a long time ago. Actually, Biafra flawlessly defeated Nigeria not until Britain and their allies disrupted the divine plan. But still the war lasted for three good years, and in the process, Biafra was a country for three years. Without the west, there wouldn't be anything called Nigeria in the first place or after the war. They created it and they fought wars to keep it, so allow them to right their wrong and don't be a hypocrite that will only support them when it favours an islamic terrorist like you with an agenda of complete control of Nigeria. Even your master, Tinubu, is running to Turkey and Britain for assistance.
TINUBU, RIBADU AND IGP, UNA HEAR WETIN WE DON DEY ASK UNA TO DO FOR LONG TIME?
Absolutely correct. Let each state have its own police.

As a black man that has studied, worked and lived with white "'men" for most of my life, if there is anything they tell you as a black man to do for your own interest, do the opposite.
