Abia Ready For State Police – Otti
In Abia State, Governor Alex Otti has said the state is prepared for the creation of state police. His position comes amid ongoing national discussions on decentralising policing in Nigeria.
Otti noted that Abia has the structure and readiness to support a state-controlled security system.
He maintained that such a move could help tackle rising insecurity more effectively at the local level.
The call aligns with growing demands from several states pushing for policing reforms. Supporters argue that state police would improve response time and strengthen community-based security efforts.
The issue remains a key topic in national policy debates, as stakeholders weigh the benefits and risks of allowing states to manage their own police forces.
