The Lagos State House of Assembly has endorsed the proposed establishment of state police, insisting that states should retain full authority over the administration of their police services to effectively address Nigeria’s security challenges.
Speaking during plenary on Wednesday, Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, commended President Bola Tinubu, the Senate and the House of Representatives for advancing the Constitution Alteration Bill on state police, describing it as a critical reform.
Obasa, however, called for clearer constitutional provisions defining the circumstances under which the Federal Government can intervene in the operations of state police.
