Why We Need State Police – Fayemi

Director of Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday, pronounced that the journey for the formation of state police by certain governors, gatherings and people in the nation was not proposed to undermine the current Federal Police, the Nigeria Police Force.Fayemi while talking kept up that fuss for state police by governors in the locale, gatherings and people the nation over, isn’t planned to undermine or cancel the effectively existing government police.

The NGF Chairman while commenting that the security circumstance in the nation has justified that each state has its very own police, demanded that the current government police and the state police would cooperate when states are permitted to have their own police.

He kept up that what was reachable in different nations where federalism is being drilled is that, government and state police work without taking part in the unfortunate competition.

Fayemi while speaking maintained that clamor for state police by governors in the region, groups and individuals across the country, is not intended to undermine or abolish the already existing federal police.

The NGF Chairman while remarking that the security situation in the country has warranted that each state has its own police, insisted that the existing federal police and the state police would work together when states are allowed to have their own police.

He maintained that what was obtainable in other countries where federalism is being practiced is that, federal and state police work without engaging in the unhealthy rivalry.
