Nigeria Ready For State Policing: Primate Ayodele Counters IGP

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, asserted that Nigeria is ripe for state policing, emphasizing its potential to curb insecurity in the country.

His response came following the statement made by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, regarding the establishment of state police.

GWG.ng reported on Monday that IGP Egbetokun declared that Nigeria is not yet ripe for state policing, despite the readiness of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to implement it.

Primate Ayodele further explained that effective utilization of the process would see state policing significantly aiding the police in gathering local intelligence to safeguard Nigerian citizens’ lives.

In a statement by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, the prophet made it known that it will create more employment opportunities, and if well utilized and used for citizens, it will improve insecurity.

He said, ‘’Nigeria is having so many security issues but the state police will add value to the police. If we utilize the process properly, state police will help. It will help to provide local intelligence and create faster means to curb insecurity in the country.

‘’Apart from creating employment, state security will assist in curbing insecurity. It will complement the work of policemen; it will improve our insecurity if it is used for the generality of humanity.’’

However, he advised the Federal Government to ensure proper management of the process to prevent its exploitation by politicians and state governors for oppressing ordinary citizens.

‘’All the government needs to do is work on funding and manage the process properly by ensuring they are not used for selfish needs by politicians and state governors.

‘’Nigeria is ripe for state police; they should do the funding well and put necessary things in place and not to oppress people,” he added.
