A bill for an act to
establish State Police in Nigeria, to ensure effective community policing has
passed its second reading in the Senate.
The bill was sponsored
by Senator Bashiru Surajudeen Ajibola representing Osun Central Senatorial
district.
The sponsor is
seeking to alter the provisions of the 1999 Constitution as amended to reflect
a provision for creation of State Police.
“A bill for an Act
to alter the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
1999 to provide for the establishment of State Police and to ensure effective
community policing in Nigeria and for other related matters.” Surajudeen
Ajibola read
However, the bill
went through the second reading despite the fact that the Senate Ad-hoc
Committee on Security was yet to submit its report.
The State Police
bill was eventually referred to the Constitution Review Committee headed by
Deputy President of the Senate for further public hearing before reverting to
the red Chambers for third reading.
