House of Reps Withdraws State Police Bill Proposal

The House of Representatives has officially withdrawn its own proposal for a constitutional amendment that sought to establish state police across Nigeria. This decision was made during a plenary session on Tuesday, where the House passed an executive-sponsored bill that had already undergone its first and second readings.

Following this, the proposal was referred to the House Committee for constitutional review and further legislative work. The withdrawal of the initial proposal indicates a strategic shift, as the House now plans to consider a separate state police bill.

This move reflects ongoing discussions and legislative efforts regarding the establishment of state police in Nigeria, which has been a topic of significant interest and debate among lawmakers.
