NIGERIA POLICE FORCE AFTER THE 2020 ENDSARS PROTEST

All known human societies have a system of rules and a machinery for ensuring compliance. These machinery is known as the government. In every society, the government exists solely to protect the lives of her citizens and their properties through a social contract. Through this highly contractual relationship, people surrender their inalienable rights to the government to establish order and stability. This have led to the development of a police system to protect tranquility and
sanity in the political clime. In Nigeria, the Nigeria police force (NPF) exists to maintain laws and orders. The integration of Northern and Southern Nigeria in 1914 foreshadowed the creation of the current Nigerian National Police on April 1, 1930, headquartered in Lagos (Oluwasola, 2016).
