The relationship or lack there of, between the police institution and Nigerian civilians is an ongoing debate in the pursuit of a more just and civil society. In this episode, we delve into a nuanced discussion on Policing, Police Brutality, and the Seun Kuti issue.
We examine the origins of the police and how it has influenced the current model and functionality of the institution. We also question whether the police is truly an institution that serves the people.

However, we also raise concerns about whether it is possible to reform the police institution as it exists in its current form.
Join us as we continue this important conversation on policing and its impact on Nigerian society.
