Senate Response On Tinubu’s State Police Plan
The Senate has announced plans to put a state police system in place before the end of the year, marking a major shift in Nigeria’s security structure.
Lawmakers said the move is part of ongoing constitutional reforms aimed at allowing states to establish and manage their own police outfits to tackle rising insecurity.
According to the Senate, discussions and consultations are already underway with key stakeholders to ensure the legal framework is completed within the set timeline.
The proposal has sparked debate nationwide, with supporters arguing it will improve local security response, while critics warn about possible misuse at the state level.
