The President of the Senate, Dr.
Abubakar Bukola Saraki, is currently meeting with the Inspector General of
Police, Mr. Mohammad Abubakar Adamu.
Saraki met Adamu on Wednesday to
discuss the Police Reform Bill and the Police Trust Fund Bill.
Recall that Saraki
while reacting to the killing of one Kolade Johnson by men believed to be
officers of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS Nigerians had said, “My
heartfelt prayers are with the family and friends of Kolade Johnson, the young
football fan who was allegedly killed by men of the Nigerian Police in
Mangoro/Onipetesi community in Lagos.
“Issues like the senseless
killings, assault and extortion of everyday Nigerians by some ‘bad apples’ in
the Police Force is what prompted @NGRSenate to introduce and fast-track the
progression of the #PoliceRefirnBill.
“I have also been in contact with
the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Police Affairs and I am pleased to
announce that the Report of the #PoliceReformBill will be laid by next week
Tuesday.
“Make no mistake, the 8th Senate
remains committed to the passage of the Police Reform Bill to ensure that our
Police Force is more efficient and responsive to the needs of all Nigerians.”
