State police will not replace Federal’s, IGP reassures officers
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has reassured officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force that the establishment of State Police will not lead to the dismantling or replacement of the existing federal police structure.
In a video online, Disu addressed concerns among police personnel, stressing that the introduction of State Police is not aimed at weakening the Federal Police but rather to complement the security architecture of the country.
The reassurance comes amid ongoing national discussions and legislative efforts to create State Police as part of broader security reforms in Nigeria.
IGP Disu’s statement is seen as an attempt to calm nerves within the Force and maintain morale among officers, many of whom have expressed apprehension about the implications of State Police on their careers and the structure of the Nigeria Police Force.
