Former President Goodluck Jonathan and other stakeholders Monday supported establishment of state police as a way of addressing the security challenges in the country.
But the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, argued that Nigeria was not yet ripe for state police.
They spoke in Abuja during the national dialogue on state police, with the theme ‘Pathways to Peace: Reimagining Policing in Nigeria.’
The dialogue was organised by the House of Representatives in partnership with the Policy Legislative and Advocacy Centre (PLAC) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
