Legit.ng earlier reported that a senior Nigerian lawyer, Femi Falana, criticised governors for giving the impression that they do not have powers of the nation’s security apparatus.
Falana said this in an interview where he spoke about some challenges facing the country including insecurity in major parts of the country.
The rights lawyer lamented that in the country, very few governors were actually assisting the police to provide security for their people.
