Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer to the incarcerated leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has revealed that the late Biafra warlord Odumegwu Ojukwu once proposed state police.

According to him, Ojukwu made the proposal during the Aburi Accord meeting with Nigeria's Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, shortly before the Nigerian Civil War in the 60s.

Ejimakor made this known following the Senate's approval for the creation of state police to battle insecurity caused by bandits and terrorists, mostly of Fulani origin.

He wrote on X, "Do you know that state police (or regional police) was one of the major items in the Aburi Accord? It was Ojukwu that had proposed it & the federal government had agreed but later declared war over it. 60 years later & 3m lives lost, the same State police has been approved. Life!"
