At least 34 Muslims fasting for Ramadan have been killed in coordinated attacks on several villages in Kebbi State, northwestern Nigeria. The gunmen, described as terrorists by local officials, raided the communities on Tuesday evening.

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, says Nigeria can no longer afford to delay the creation of state police if it wants to effectively tackle rising insecurity. Speaking to journalists in Abuja after returning from Geneva, Switzerland—where he attended the 55th WTO-IPU Parliamentary Conference—Kalu described Nigeria’s centralized policing system as inadequate and outdated compared to global best practices. According to him, worsening cases of banditry, violent crimes, and communal clashes require a policing model that brings law enforcement closer to the people. “The only way we can achieve faster response times is by unbundling the current centralized structure,” Kalu explained. “If we establish state police alongside the federal police, we can address security challenges more effectively while tailoring policing to local realities.” Kalu acknowledged concerns that state police could be hijacked by politicians but insisted the greater […]
