The Leader of the Senate, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele.
Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, on Wednesday provided further details on how the proposed state police services would be insulated from the abuse of some political actors.
He said that their funding should be a first-line charge in the ongoing amendment to the 1999 Constitution.
Bamidele, who is also Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution, warned that business, cabals, criminals and some other organisations could equally abuse the state police services if their financial independence was not guaranteed.
He pointed this out in a statement released by his Directorate on Media and Public Affairs while acknowledging various concerns, which key stakeholders had expressed on the state police bill.
