The problem of this will be for example, a Governor Ododo shielding a former Governor Yaha Bello from arrest and prosecution....using the State Police.

We never get State Police, the high and mighty are already abusing the privilege of Federal Police.....they will surely use this to oppress political opponents.

Although, it will be a good thing as far as local security is concerned...

I hope there will be a way to checkmate possible excesses of such State Police

so you're only after politics not thinking about the security of your state.

State police? With these set of emperors? Okay oooooo.

Hahahh Governor's as Kings of thugs will now control police Apparatus.

DeOTR:
Right step in the right direction. Now they should ensure the state police is under the respective States department of justice. The State police boss should not be taking orders from the governor

But IG can take order from Tinubu?

KOMBE:
Okay, hopefully the governors will not use stat police to rig the next election.

That's the only thing you envision

You didn't see stronger robust decentralized security at every areas of a state
You didn't see creation of jobs
You didn't see enforcement of law
You didn't see more formal reporting

From the comments against state police shows that

It will be very difficult for nigeria to progress, typical nigerians are too backward

How can anyone be against a straight forward thing as local policing

FG have been doing it, so no problem if state do same since we dont want to start punishing people who rig elections.

Someone said openly that if u dont vote for APC, return to ur region. He was not arrested. He is walking freely. If u cant fix that as a nation, forget about free and fair election.
Blacks are the most unproductive creatures ever created by god.

Your last statement is about your family, not the black race

It's one of the anomalies of our federal system

UTILITYMAY:
But the Governor will buy the State Department of Justice

Not when they're independent.

SmartPolician:
We cannot have state police without total resource control. If not, how do governors intend to pay their salaries and meet their other logistical needs??

Their massive security budget can very well do it.
