Abstract

One issue that has become highly contentious and politicized in Nigeria today is the clamour for the decentralization of the Nigeria Police and the establishment of State Police. The fundamental question is that, how would the establishment of state police effectively address the security crisis plaguing the Nigerian state? Won’t this idea threaten and compromise the fragile national security of the nation? The crux of this paper is that taking into consideration the level of political development of the country depicted by the undemocratic, unpatriotic and lawless nature of the Nigerian political class. Any hurried and unplanned institution of state police will be an obvious invitation to unprecedented security crisis and political instability in the country. Thus, as much as the paper supports the call for genuine and deep reform of the Nigeria Police, because the issue has serious political and security undercurrents, the clamour should be treated with serious caution, circumspect and deep sense of patriotism.
