Sagay: Governors Risk Exposure with State Police Abuse

Itse Sagay, the former chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), discussed the potential for state governors in Nigeria to be exposed and embarrassed if they misuse the powers of state police. In an interview on Arise Television on Friday, Sagay highlighted that recent discussions led by President Bola Tinubu regarding constitutional amendments to accommodate state police are crucial in the fight against insecurity.

He warned that any attempts by state governors to abuse the state police system would face significant challenges from civil society organizations in Nigeria. Sagay's comments come amid ongoing debates about the role and regulation of state police in the country, emphasizing the importance of accountability and oversight to prevent misuse of power.
