Itse Sagay Identifies Obstacles to State Police in Nigeria
Itse Sagay, a former chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), addressed the obstacles to establishing state police in Nigeria during an interview on Arise Television. He highlighted that northern governors and politicians are the primary impediments to this initiative.
Sagay noted that despite the recent calls from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the National Assembly to amend the constitution to incorporate state police, there has been significant resistance from these governors. He expressed optimism that state police would eventually be established once northern governors embrace the idea, which is viewed as a crucial step in improving the quality of security for the people.
Sagay's comments reflect ongoing discussions about enhancing local law enforcement capabilities in response to security challenges in Nigeria.
