State Police: US Congressman Backs Bill, Atiku Camp Sees it as 2027 Political Agenda

The debate over the proposed State Police system in Nigeria has taken a new turn as a United States Congressman publicly backs the bill, while the camp of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar questions the timing of the proposal. US Congressman Riley Moore argues that State Police could strengthen local security and help protect vulnerable communities, including Christians facing persecution and insecurity in parts of the country.

According to Moore, decentralized policing would allow states to respond more effectively to security challenges. However, Atiku Abubakar’s camp has raised concerns, suggesting that the renewed push for State Police may be linked to political calculations ahead of the 2027 general elections. While supporting police reforms in principle, the camp insists that Nigerians should carefully examine the motives behind the timing of the proposal.
