APC Rep Gagdi Questions Governors' Control of AK-47s Amid State Police Debate

APC Representative Yusuf Gagdi expressed skepticism about granting governors the authority to control AK-47s at the state level amidst discussions on state police creation in the ongoing constitutional review. Gagdi argued that governors may misuse such power compared to a national commission like INEC.

He advocated for strengthening community policing instead of creating state police, aligning with concerns about security challenges in Nigeria. This stance contrasts with support from figures like President Bola Tinubu for state police to address issues like banditry and violent crime at the local level.
