State police is good but it will have negative effects in a country like Nigeria. It will just be like a tool/weapon in the hand of oppressor.

Good lets get some progress.

The states will be responsible for police they establish. The ones that cant establish police force will rely on federal police as the senate said. They can use that secruity vote money to fund their police along with taxes payers money.

We shall all see.

Instead of state police, lets have regional police.

All the six regions should have their own police and watch over regional boundaries.
