By Caroline Asoloko
The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Police Affairs, Rep. Abubakar Yalleman, says state police will address security challenges in the country at all levels.
Yalleman stated this on the sidelines of the Critical National Dialogue on the establishment of State Police organised by the House of Representatives in Abuja.
He said the issue of state police has been a burning issue in the last two decades, adding that although it had never been on the front burner for discussion until recently.
According to the house committee chairman on police affairs, having a national dialogue on the issue of security and state police initiated by the House of Representatives is evident that the once-nascent democracy is becoming more sophisticated, open, transparent, and mature.
