Former Governor of Kaduna State Balarabe Musa has stated that the establishment of the State Police will not stop killings across Nigeria.
The elder statesman was reacting to a Senate resolution directing its Constitutional Review Committee to put in place machinery for the amendment of the Constitution to allow for the creation of state Police.
Speaking to NAN, Balarabe Musa said: “I believe it will solve nothing. What I believe will solve the problem is for the Federal Government to strengthen the Nigeria police.
“We are having these issues because of the poor training, lack of equipment and all that which have hindered the capability of the police.
“What the Federal Government needs to do is to train and retrain the personnel, provide equipment and increase the number of the personnel.”
The former governor said the government could afford to fund the police if it summoned the will and call for the right investment in security.
