A chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Alhaji Buba Galadima, has declared that the lawmakrs in the National Assembly who had a hand in the passage of the State Police Bill would be consumed by it when it eventually comes into being.
Alhaji Galadima said this, on Tuesday, on Arise TV, during an interview.
The elder statesman, who said he had fought against its creation since 1987, said the lawmakers erred in the passage of the bill and he said the lawmakers would pay dearly for it.
He likened the State Police scheme to the Native Police structure in the pre colonial era.

Said he, “The State Police Bill was just passed like that without really looking at the nitty-gritty of that law.
“I am not very much concerned because most of the characters in the National Assembly were not matured enough when the Native Authority Police was used by the Native Authority or the Regional Governments of that time. If they knew, they would not have put their fingers into this. And I assure the country that those who have a hands in this will pay dearly in the hands of State police. Am sure some of the members of the National Assembly, when this law is passed, will never have the chance to visit their states,” Alhaji Galadima declared.
