ABEOKUTA—The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Mamman Tsafe, weekend, claimed that the refusal of governors to provide required support for security agencies, was responsible for the continued mayhem by the Boko Haram insurgents in parts of the country. He urged state governors to place premium on providing logistics support for the Nigeria Police to combat security challenges in the country. He said: “I call on other governors to give the police the required support so that they can have the peace we are having in these states. In fact, if all governors are committed, all these insurgent situations will be taken care of. I commend their level of security consciousness but they only need to improve on it and that would make their abodes safer.” AIG Mamman Tsafe Vanguard Newspaper Online - 14 April 2014 Can the above warped thinking be a solution to the Boko Haram menace? How can a top cop reason this way? Has he read the constitution to discern who is primarily responsible to sustaining the federal police? Does he even know that one percent of the monthly statutorily allocations to the states is illegally deducted at source for the Police? What else does he want from the Governors? It is ironic, very ironic that the top echelon of the police that include AIG Mamman Tsafe are against State Police yet, they desire sustainance from the state governments. How can? This is just part of the reason why we are not winning this war!
