The
Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar III and Governor Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto
State have advocated the creation of state police in the country to tackle
insurgency, the News Agency of
Nigeria reports.
The
two spoke in Sokoto on Sunday, when the sultan paid the traditional Sallah
homage to the governor.
Abubakar
said state governments were already spending huge sums of money to provide
vehicles and security gadgets, among others to security agencies in the
country.
“Most
state governments, if not all, provide one form of assistance or the other to
security agencies; they build or renovate offices for them.
“The
time for the creation of state police is now,’’ the sultan said, adding that
the creation of state police would help in addressing current security challenges
in parts of the nation.
Responding,
Wamakko said that state police, when created, would assist in reducing
difficulties currently faced by policemen deployed in states other than theirs.
“State governments have
continued to suffer so much as a result of security challenges, the security of
lives and property will be enhanced if state police is created,” Wamakko said.
