Tinubu Pushes for State Police Amid Rising Insecurity in Northern Nigeria
President Bola Tinubu advocated for the establishment of state police while commending the efforts of the Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) in curbing insecurity in the region. Tinubu's call for state police comes in response to the Northern Elders Forum's plea for a state of emergency in Northern Nigeria due to escalating insecurity.
Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State expressed confidence that banditry would soon be history in the state under the control of local security outfits. Tinubu praised the resilience and collaboration of governors in the region in addressing security challenges and promoting development, emphasizing the need for local ownership and political neutrality in security frameworks.
