Killings: It’s time for state police — Gani Adams

By Dapo Akinrefon

Following the worsening insecurity in the country, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has reiterated the call for the urgent establishment of state police.
He also urged the Federal Government, the Plateau State government, and relevant security agencies to urgently find a comprehensive solution to the cycle of violence affecting Plateau State.
Condemning the recent wave of killings in the state, which led to the loss of innocent lives, Adams in a statement, described the persistent violence in Plateau State as a serious threat to the peace, unity, and stability of the country.
He said: “It is unacceptable that citizens continue to live under the shadow of fear due to recurring attacks. Such acts undermine the fabric of our society and hinder the progress that we all desire. The safety and security of every Nigerian must be guaranteed without delay.”
He noted that the tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing security challenges in Nigeria and the need for collective action in safeguarding lives and promoting lasting peace.
Calling on the government to reassess and strengthen the current security architecture in the state to effectively tackle the root causes of the recurring insecurity, he said: “We must engage communities and local leaders in dialogue and peacebuilding efforts. We must also ensure justice is served by bringing perpetrators of these heinous acts to account, thereby deterring future violence.”
