Disadvantages of state police. The present crop of political leadership in the country is immature and that is why we are where we are in Nigeria today.
We need to avoid the risk of having state police as things stand in the country. It is only in Lagos State that there is cordial relationship between the government and security agencies, especially the police.
The disadvantages of state police out-weigh the advantages,
The creation of state police as a solution to the Insecurity situation in the country is not the solution. It will rather worsen the already bad security situation created by some power-drunk politicians in the country.

The behaviour of our politicians generally and some state governors, clearly shows that the creation of state police will destroy professionalism in the Police and will encourage and protect political thuggery in the states. Worse still, it will be used as instrument of intimidation and harassment against the opposition.

Finally, state police will be used for election rigging. Perhaps if we overcome our teething problems and we are tolerant of one another, state police may be desirable in future.
But for now we are not mature and civilized enough for state Police.
Don't forget that budget,election plans etc are alway perfect on paper but executing it in Nigeria here is always zero and the same can and will happen to state policing.
