Misuse of Police Officers. What are the functions and duties of policemen in Nigeria or in General? Is it to guard our government officials only, or to protect the general public The role, functions and duties of the police in general is not to guard the the Governor or his entire family. For example, Policemen attached to Governor Rotimi Amaechi in River State to mention a few, 35 policemen for Amaechi, 30 deputy governor, Wife of Governor 30, deputy governors Wife 30, chief of staff to Governor 5, Secretary to state government 5, and government house 109 policemen. The role, functions and duties of the police in general are to uphold and enforce the law impartially, and to protect life, property, human rights and dignity of the members of the public, to protect and preserve public order. To prevent and control terrorist activities, breaches of communal harmony, militant activities and other situations affecting internal security. These list of duties and functions are not exhaustive, but argumentatively, why would a governor be assigned to over 100 policemena
