Police Must Be Decentralized To Defeat Insecurity In Nigeria – Legor Idagbor

A member of the House of Representatives, Mr Legor Idagbor has come out to reiterate the need for the decentralisation of the Nigeria Police for effective war against insecurity.

Idagbor who represents Obanlikwu/Bekwara/Obudu federal constituency told recently revealed this to the press in Calabar, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the insecurity starts at the grassroots and empowering authorities at that level will go a long way in helping in the fight against insecurity.

He added that security is not only about arms and ammunition, but information gathering, and if that is limited to the federal government alone, it won’t solve anything.

His words, “Security is not only about arms and ammunition but information gathering and if that is limited to the federal government alone, there will be a lot that the state governors will not be aware of and a gap at the grassroots level will be created.”
