IGP: NIGERIA NOT MATURE FOR STATE POLICE

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has rejected the state police proposal, warning that the governors can abuse the outfit for political or personal gains and compromise human rights and national security.

Egbetokun who stated this at the national dialogue on state policing organised by the House of Representatives in Abuja noted that the country has yet to mature and ready for the establishment of state-controlled police.

However, the Federal Government insisted there was no going back on the initiative.
