VICE President, Yemi Osinbajo, has joined in the call for the creation of State Police.

“State police is the way to go,” Osinbajo said while noting that it would help tighten security across the nation.

Osinbajo stated this on Thursday at the National Assembly summit on security.

The summit which is taking place at the NAF Conference Center, Ahmadu Bello Way, Abuja, is aimed at providing an all-inclusive platform for finding long-term solutions to the security challenges in Nigeria.

Speaking further, Osinbajo proposed that the current number of police in the country be tripled and called for more funding for the police as well as other security agencies.

On the herdsmen killings, he described as false, the insinuations in some quarters that the President has ignored the killings by herdsmen because he is Fulani.
