OBI: SARS — the need to defederalize the Nigeria police force

The protests have been important in showing that Nigerians demand better from their police force and expect them not to become criminals themselves. Police brutality is now being brought to the forefront of Nigerian political issues, and there is a solution to fully address it — the Nigerian Police Force needs to be defederalized.
