He argued that public confidence in anti-corruption efforts is strengthened when investigations are concluded transparently and their outcomes communicated clearly to citizens.

The call comes amid continued public interest in the case and broader conversations about accountability in public office.

“STATE POLICE IS LONG OVERDUE” — GOV. MAKINDE 🇳🇬

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has declared that the creation of State Police in Nigeria is long overdue amid growing insecurity across the country.

According to the Governor, regional security outfits like Amotekun were introduced because states currently lack constitutional powers to establish fully independent policing systems.

Makinde stressed that Nigeria’s current security realities demand localized policing structures capable of responding swiftly and effectively to threats within communities.

Do you think State Police is the solution to Nigeria’s insecurity challenges?

SOKOTO MOVES AGAINST BANDITS’ INFORMANTS 🇳🇬

Governor Ahmed Aliyu has proposed a new law targeting individuals accused of supplying information to bandits in Sokoto State.

According to the Governor, informants play a major role in aiding criminal operations and worsening insecurity across affected communities.

The proposed legislation is part of broader efforts to strengthen security and combat banditry in the region.

“Informants are more dangerous than the bandits themselves,” the Governor reportedly stated.
