Nigeria’s 36 state governors have again called for the immediate establishment of state police. The governors say any proposed state police framework should be constitutionally sound and designed to align with Nigeria’s federal system and citizens’ rights. The renewed position is presented as a response to ongoing insecurity in the country, with state leaders arguing that policing arrangements under state control could improve security outcomes while remaining within legal boundaries. In the coverage reviewed, the governors’ stance is highlighted as consistent with their broader push for state police, rather than a departure from prior proposals. The reporting emphasizes that supporters of the plan want clarity on how state police would operate, including how authority and responsibilities would fit with existing federal policing structures. Overall, the issue remains framed around balancing efforts to address insecurity with adherence to constitutional provisions and the protection of public rights.
