There are growing calls in Nigeria for a major overhaul of the country's policing system, as insecurity continues to rise.

Experts and stakeholders are advocating for a shift from a force-based model to a more community-oriented approach, one that builds trust, improves accountability, and strengthens relationships between the police and the public.

Key proposals include the introduction of state policing, better training and welfare for officers, and the use of technology to curb brutality and rebuild confidence in law enforcement.
