Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has said Nigeria should decentralise its police force and allow the emergence of the state police for adequate provision of security to the. teeming population, Tambuwal stated this when he received the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, on a courtesy visit.
Tambuwal said even though some governors in the North have in the past kicked against state police, present realities on ground indicate that the model is the best way to go. He said several states in the federation now have various security outfits whose functions overlap with that of the police.
