The Gani Adams and former Commander of Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Ishola Williams, have urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the National Assembly to urgently create a legal framework for the establishment of state police as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture.
The duo renewed calls for the creation of state and local government police forces, arguing that decentralised policing remains one of the most effective ways to address the country’s worsening insecurity.
They made the call during a virtual international conference themed “Changing Face of Insecurity in Yorubaland,” organised by Yoruba One Voice.
