State police debate gains urgency

The debate over establishing state police in Nigeria has long been contentious. Advocates, including some governors, argue that restructuring the country’s policing system is essential, stressing that creating state police is now a necessity that should not be delayed any further.

For decades, Nigeria’s several regions have been the site of deadly attacks. In northern Nigeria, Boko Haram and other ISIL (ISIS)-affiliated armed groups have launched deadly attacks for more than a decade, killing thousands and forcing hundreds of thousands to be displaced, as the groups attempt to impose harsh interpretations of Islamic law in the country’s mainly Muslim north.

Although the victims of the violence come from diverse cultures and religions, the attacks have prompted intervention from United States (US) President Donald Trump, with American lawmakers describing the situation as a “Christian genocide.”
