Kwankwaso Reaffirms Opposition to State Police, Warns Against Civilian Arms

Former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso has restated his opposition to state police. He argued that calls for state-controlled policing grew because federal security agencies have failed to contain insecurity. Kwankwaso said the Federal Government should not shift its security responsibilities to state governments. He also warned against suggestions that citizens should acquire firearms for self-defence, saying widespread access to weapons could worsen disputes and undermine peace. The post’s author criticised the differing security proposals associated with opposition politicians, including negotiations with armed groups and direct rescue operations. The author argues that these positions raise questions about how presidential contenders intend to tackle insecurity.
