The British are coming

There is this interesting article on Samuel Onongha's blog. It's about the role of the Nigeria poloce in the maintenance of peace and security, and it's a very voluminous article. I found it while I was looking for new info concerning the role the british police are going to play in the ongoing investigation about Funsho Williams murder.

I heard also, that the British police were also consultants for the Germans during the world cup. I wonder , are they that really that much more experienced than other police forces, or does this say something about their community?

I would like to see better awareness and professionalism in the Nigerian police force and I welcome any attempt to improve the perception of Nigeria in any way possible. But I would have thought training would be enough and not a full scale operation by a foreign police on our soil. I hope their stay does something for the ordinary man on the streets so we can all feel safer and not just the political class.
