The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has rejected the call for state police.

By
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has rejected the call for state police. According to him, Nigeria is not mature for state police. Egbetokun stated this on Monday at a national dialogue on state police organised by the House of Representatives in Abuja. The theme of the dialogue is ‘Pathways to Peace: Reimagining Policing in Nigeria’. Egbetokun, who was represented by Ben Okolo, an Assistant Inspector-General of Police, said Nigeria is not ready for the establishment of state police. “On the issue of state police, it is the submission of the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) that Nigeria is not yet mature and ready for the establishment of state-controlled police.” The IGP also claimed that state governors were likely to abuse the privilege of state police by using it for political gains, leading to possible abuse of power and abuse of human rights. “State governors could use the police forces under their control for political or personal gain and under

Allow opposition to breathe,” Edo APC urges PDP as campaigns commence

By
The Edo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of incapable of leading an issue-based campaign towards the September 21 governorship election because it has begun to hound opposition parties in the state. A statement by the Media and Publicity Directorate of the APC Campaign Organisation in Benin City countered the claims of the PDP candidate, Mr. Asue Ighodalo, who promised to lead an issue-based campaign. The APC said, “a party whose leader is Mr. Godwin Obaseki with the paraphernalia of government should be told to allow opposition parties to breathe instead of hounding them - the most recent incident being the attack that occurred at the University of Benin (UNIBEN) where the Labour Party candidate and its members were attacked”.
