JOS — Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has reiterated the need for the establishment of state police, describing it as a critical step towards addressing Nigeria’s growing security challenges.
Mutfwang spoke during the ARISE Television Town Hall Programme on “Building a National Consensus for State Police and National Security,” where he highlighted Plateau State’s efforts to strengthen security and shared his views on the proposed policing reform.
The governor said his administration inherited a state grappling with persistent security challenges and responded by revitalising Operation Rainbow, the state’s security outfit established to provide intelligence support to conventional security agencies.
According to him, the government has also deployed technology-driven surveillance systems and established a command-and-control centre to enhance intelligence gathering, monitor security developments across the state, and improve emergency response.
