President Tinubu said, “We are going for state police. We will do forest rangers. We will arm them. We will defeat those terrorists and bandits; we must do that.

Newsone recalls that President Tinubu promised to establish local police in states following the recent surge in killings and other activities of the criminal elements causing mayhem across the country.

The National Assembly has also thrown its weight behind the establishment of the local force, although there are some stakeholders who are still sceptical about the effectiveness of the state police owing to possible abuse by state governors.
