A former Assistant Director with the Department of State Services (DSS), Adams Abuh, has called on 20 GOVERNORS yet to support the creation of STATE POLICE to expedite action.

Abuh, in an interview yesterday, said the escalating security challenges of banditry and kidnapping in the country demand urgent response from federal and state governments.

The ex-DSS director also said security agents in Nigeria have been handicapped as they have not been equipped with the right work tools to respond timely to emergency calls.

According to him, the Nigeria Police Force has been understaffed, with unserviceable vehicles, plus logistics challenges, inadequate funding, poor remuneration, amongst other factors. He said these factors have been responsible for the poor response time of security agencies to distress calls.
