Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has backed calls for the creation of state police, noting that it is long overdue. Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics at the Lagos House, Sanwo-Olu said Nigeria should make state police happen. “It is long overdue, we should make it happen,” the governor said in reaction to his stance on the creation of a state policing structure in the country. “In fact, that is one of the critical things that I believe will help us. It has been said over and over again.” When asked if governors are frustrated that they cannot take 100 percent charge of the security situation in their respective states, Sanwo-Olu replied in the affirmative.
