With state police, Amotekun won’t be necessary – Obasanjo

FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo has thrown his weight behind the call for state police, saying the country is ripe for such a change.

While insisting that there were different views on restructuring, he said there was the need for devolution of powers, responsibilities and resources to allow for healthy competition among states.
