Senate has concluded plans to fast-track the constitution amendment process for the establishment of state police, with the proposal expected to be passed this week and transmitted to the 36 states Houses of Assembly for ratification.
Leader of the Senate, Opeyemi Bamidele, disclosed on Monday that the National Assembly had resolved to isolate the state police bill from the broader ongoing constitution review process in order to hasten its passage in response to growing national security concerns.
