•Governors lay ambush for Jonathan over review of revenue allocation formula
The threats of Boko Haram and general insecurity in the country are threatening to spark a fresh round of agitation for state police.
The first sign of pressure appears to be building in the National Assembly where some members of the two chambers are said to be seriously weighing their options on the issue.
Many politicians, especially members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and top officials in the Presidency had, in the past, derided state police as divisive. But with the obvious inability of the national police to check the growing cases of banditry and religious insurgency in parts of the country, some members of the National Assembly are beginning to have a rethink.
