In an effort to put an end to Nigeria’s decade-long security difficulties, President Bola Tinubu has vowed that the new state police officers will be well-armed.

The president addressed at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Friday at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.

Tinubu also disclosed plans to establish forest rangers, who will be armed to combat terrorism and banditry in Nigeria.

He said, “We are going for state police. We will do forest rangers. We will arm them. We will defeat those terrorists and bandits, we must do that”.

Following the recent increase in homicides and other criminal activity wreaking havoc across the country, the president committed to deploy local police in states.

Although some stakeholders remain skeptical of the state police’s efficiency due to potential abuse by state governors, the National Assembly has thrown its support behind the establishment of the local force.
