Chief Gabriel of Igbinedion, the Esama of Benin Kingdom

“I vehemently object to state police. Those of us who once saw state police in operation will not pray for it to come to this country again. Do you know what it took us to uproot state police? Do you know how politicians used them to their advantage? Please write with your ten fingers against it.”

“Some politicians think they are there today but do not know they will not be there tomorrow. Anyone that agitates for state police does not love this country. What native police did to this country in the 50s and 60s, if you saw it, you will not want them to come back.”
