Laolu Akande, a former spokesman to ex-Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has urged President Bola Tinubu, state governors, and National Assembly members to establish state police in the face of the prevailing insecurity in the country.
Akande said the current centralized security structure was
inadequate to resolve the insecurity situation in the country.
Speaking on Channels TV’s “Inside Sources,” on Friday,
Akande said: “The time has come to give that authority and power.
“Now, this has to be done properly and that is why we are
calling for a proper constitutional amendment that will define how this will
not be abused.
“It is also important for all the stakeholders to come
together and ensure proper rules of engagement. The time for state police is
now. We are calling on the President.
“We are calling on the governors, the members of the
National Assembly and the State Assemblies to set the ball rolling and we are
also calling on the traditional rulers, religious leaders and all leaders of
thought to come behind this idea of state police.”
