Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam El-Rufai has come out to reiterate his call for State Police and devolution of power to the component units in Nigeria.

He recently revealed this at the 18th Town Hall Meeting entitled: ‘Setting Benchmarks for Enhancing Security and National Unity in Nigeria’, held at Kaduna State University, Kaduna.

According to him, the time is now for this move because the country is at war with criminal and divisive elements bent on bringing the country to its knees.

He added that Nigerian states must learn to rise up against the criminal elements to enable the citizens to live a better and peaceful life.
