..mulls legislation for state security outfits

Few weeks after Southwest inaugurated “Amotekun”, the regional Security Network, Senator  Oluremi Tinubu (Lagos Central)  has advocated state police as part of efforts to address  Nigeria’s security challenges.

“States that are capable of having state police should be given permission to do so.

“If we really want to tackle our insecurity correctly, we should look at state police. I believe in you – Senate President – to do it this time.

“I have seen what insecurity has meted out to Nigerians and the vulnerable group in particular-women and children. State policing: if we want to go there, we should allow states that are ready,” she said.

 
Tinubu, wife of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, APC National Leader, speaking during Senate plenary, noted that insecurity had become so overwhelming and intractable.
She believed that state police would complement the current central policing to secure lives and property.
Also contributing, Sen. Tolu Odebiyi (Ogun East) said the issue of security cannot be taken in isolation.

” I support the need to consider a security architecture that is homegrown.

“State police is not compulsory for every state, those who do not want it do not have to panic.”

On his part, Senator Solomon Adeola (Lagos West) said: “The creation of state police will take care of little security outfits that have been set up.”
He said setting up of state police would create massive jobs across the country.
“It will also lead to the generation of employmen.”
