IGP submits 75-page state police framework to Senate
IGP Olatunji Disu submitted a 75-page framework for establishing state police to Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau Thursday at the National Assembly. The document, titled 'A comprehensive framework for the establishment, governance and coordination of Federal and State Police,' represents the Nigeria Police Force's input on constitutional amendments. Professor Olu Ogunsakin, chairman of the IGP's seven-member committee, submitted the report after extensive consultations with stakeholders. This move supports President Tinubu's agenda to decentralize policing and enhance national security. The Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution will now examine this framework alongside other memoranda for the constitutional amendment process.
