The presidency has debunked report on Approval for the
establishment of state and Local government Police.
There was media report that President Muhammadu Buhari approved
the establishment of state and local government police.
He also approved the dismissal of 37 police officers as
recommended by the National Human Rights Commission Presidential
Special Panel on SARS Reforms.
But, the presidency through head of digital Communication, Tolu
Ogunlesi said there was nothing like approval for the establishment
of state and local government police.
Ogunlesi made the denial known through his twitter handle after
the report had gone viral.
He said,”There were no “approvals” given.
The ceremony was for submission of Panel Report (more than 2,000
pages long) – which made several recommendations.
President received Report & directed IGP, Min of Justice
& NHRC to “work out modalities for implementation within 3
months.”
Fake News. There were no “approvals” given.
Ceremony was for submission of Panel Report (more than 2,000 pages
long) – which made several recommendations. President received
Report & directed IGP, Min of Justice & NHRC to “work out
modalities for implementation within 3 months.” https://t.co/nRMVD99Mqg[1]— tolu ogunlesi (@toluogunlesi) June 3,
