The Return Of Hausa Constabulary In The Nigeria Police Force & Intensification Of Structural Violence Against Senior Officers Of The Southeast Zone
The Return of Hausa Constabulary in the NPF:
“Hausa Constabulary” was a second name given to the Nigeria Police Force by early colonial masters in 1863. Its first name was “Consular Guard”, given to it in 1861. It was regularized by an ordinance in 1879 creating the “Lagos Constabulary”, which later led to creation of “the Lagos Colony Police Force” in 1896 headed by a CP. Part of the so called “Hausa Constabulary” later became “the Niger Coast Constabulary” in 1894, which featured prominently in the British Expeditions up to 1896.
