Perturbed by the unabated security challenges in the country, the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ohaji/Egbema, Imo State, the Rt Revd Chidi Collins Oparaojiaku has advised President Bola Tinubu to ignore the call for state-controlled Police except where there is a shift in the political paradigm.

He lamented that the nation’s police force had already been compromised that anything goes for some of them .
