The Emir of Ningi in Bauchi, Alhaji Yunusa Muhammadu Dan Yaya, has declared his opposition to the creation of state police in the country. The revered traditional ruler argued that some governors would hijack the police and abuse it inappropriately.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with select journalists at his palace in Ningi on Sunday, the Emir said what the country needs is not a state police but adequate welfare for the Nigeria Police Force. He added that the underlying issue lies in the negligence or lack of political will by the federal government to address the demands and requirements of the NPF. According to him, if the federal government adequately supports the police, such grievances wouldn't arise.

And if they are given weapons, maybe they won’t get a salary, they won’t get incentives, welfare, and other remunerations over time. Maybe they will not get so many things, like good working facilities, needed working tools, welfare, and other things that are needed. I think the state governments can’t provide for all their needs since the federal government too can’t do it.
