The Lagos State House of Assembly has faulted the position of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Olukayode Egbetokun, that Nigeria is not ripe for state police.
The House, which faulted Egbetokun’s position through a resolution at plenary on Monday, described the I-G’s position as unacceptable.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the I-G had, at a recently held dialogue on state policing, opposed the establishment of state police.
The I-G had argued that state police would increase ethnic tension and cause divided loyalty in states of the federation.
