Debate about State Police has been a recurrent, controversial and lingering debate in Nigeria. It comes up every now and then especially, when something significant happens that brings to the fore the inability of the Nigeria Police to live up to its constitutional mandate of protecting life and property. This debate also reared up, stirring controversy, at the Federal Government Police Reform Committees set up successively under the Obasanjo, Yar ’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan administrations, respectively in 2006, 2008 and 2012.
