Former Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, has urged the Federal Government to establish a central rapid deployment police force that can be sent to support state police commands during emergencies.
He gave the advice during an interview with Arise Television on Thursday.
Barak said the newly adopted state police structure in Nigeria would only work if there was proper coordination, transparency and information-sharing between the states and the Federal Government in Abuja.
He said the arrangement must not create a system where states operate in isolation from the centre.
He said, “The fact that there is a state police for every government, under every government, doesn’t mean that there is no coordination, correlation, and dialogue with Abuja.
