Falana advocates cautious implementation of State Police

Falana, a highly respected Senior Advocate, spoke on Channels Television’s “Inside Sources With Laolu Akande” on Friday night.

He acknowledged that state police are common in federations, but stressed the need for clear policies before implementation. “We must revisit the Constitution,” Falana said. “State police are feasible, but we need to ensure public trust by refining our policies beforehand.

“We must go back to the provisions of the Constitution. It’s not unusual in a federation to have Federal Government police and state police but again, we have to go back to the drawing table and finetune our policies before we have state police. We must assure our people.”
