Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Femi Falana, has accused the National Assembly of towing with the nation’s security.

While appearing as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily in Lagos, Falana faulted the lawmakers for not creating state police.

“With profound respect, the members of the National Assembly are toying with the security of our country.

“How can the Senate in this stage and time be passing resolution asking for state police? Or the House of Representatives requesting the President to come and address the members of the National Assembly on the security situation in the country,” he stated.

Falana’s statement follows a series of attacks and security threats in several parts of the country, notably bandits in some northwestern states and kidnapping for ransom.

The learned lawyer, however, believes that the creation of state police would help address the numerous threats considering the shortage of police personnel for the teeming Nigerians.

“Why have they (the lawmakers) not moved the motion for the creation of state police?” he asked.

While lamenting the spate of attacks, Falana recalled that the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) was empowered by the President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration to bear arms in addressing security challenges then.

Nothing as useless to Nigeria as NASS. Overpaid bunch of do nothings. Carry big belle go sleep for Chambers meanwhile country dey burn, youths getting fired, suffer everywhere you look. But I like that my people are now 'shuffering and frownin' for a change.

Why would I and why would falana not support it? Your reply is childish. Falana has been clamoring for state police so why will he not support it. The issue is that it is the National Assembly that has the powers to create state police. So who are they asking...... They're simply playing with Nigerians. It's either u want state police or not.. Falana atimes opposes the president and supports him a times that shows objectivity in his personal opinion.
