Former Nigeria President, Goodluck Jonathan has described state police as a non-negotiable entity that Nigeria should establish.
Jonathan stated this on Monday at the dialogue on state police organized by the House of Representatives, noting that the conversation should shift to the prevention of abuse by governors
He said most times governors abuse institutions, however, the challenges are not sufficient to stop the creation of state police, adding that state police was wildly accepted by the delegates at the 2014 Confab.
Earlier, in his opening remarks, the Deputy Speaker of the House, Ben Kalu argued that the current security situation in Nigeria requires a multilayer approach to insecurity, stating that over five billion naira has been paid in ransoms to kidnappers, a figure that starkly exposes the alarming growth of the criminal enterprise in the country.
