The push for state police in Nigeria has resurfaced at the centre of national debate amid growing insecurity.

President Bola Tinubu and several governors have voiced strong support for the idea, though critics warn it could be misused by politicians or weakened by poor funding.

In Plateau State, Governor Caleb Muftwang announced plans to launch the initiative with an initial force of more than 1,400 personnel.

The renewed debate comes as insecurity continues to disrupt communities across the country, raising urgent questions about how best to strengthen law enforcement.
