I have to establish a State Police

As part of initiatives to improve national security, His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu has stated that the creation of state police is inevitable. Following years of insecurity that have wreaked havoc on the socioeconomic life and development of the region, Northern elders yesterday urged the president to proclaim a state of emergency in the North. In the wake of the June attack by herdsmen that killed over 200 people, Victor Aleva, the president of Mzough U Tiv UK (MUTUK), also stated that nothing had changed in Yelewata since President Tinubu’s visit to Benue State.
