IGP Rejects State Police Proposal, Demands Merger of FRSC, NSCDC

The Nigeria Police Force has opposed the establishment of state police, saying the country was not ripe for such. 

Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun said the establishment of state police will aggravate ethnic tension, leading to divided loyalty in the states. 

He raised the concern at the ongoing one day dialogue on state policing in Abuja.

Represented by AIG Ben Okolo, the Inspector General of Police said the establishment of state police will also lead to multiple command structures in the states.

According to him, state governors are likely to abuse the privilege of state police by using it for political gains, leading to possible abuse of power and abuse of huma rights. 

The IGP also argued that the state government lack thereof required funding that will give birth to the type of policing that the nation requires. 

He thereafter suggested that rather than establishing state police, the Nigeria Security and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the Federal Road Safety Commission should be merged to form a department in the Nigeria Police Force. 

He also said there is the need for a yearly recruitment of about 30,000 police personnel into the force annually to meet the UN requirements for modern policing, while also increasing annual budgetary allocation to the force.
