The House of Representatives has passed the Executive Bill on the establishment of state police.

The House passed the Bill during plenary on Thursday after it withdrew its own proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police in the country.

The passage is a milestone in the country’s push to decentralize its security architecture.

This is coming after the Nigerian Senate previously approved its own version, bringing the country closer to a dual policing system designed to combat widespread banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism.
