Vanguard · Nigeria · Nigeria's Senate passes state police constitutional amendment, dissolving 100-year-old single-force model
Details the clause-by-clause vote that renamed the Nigeria Police Force a Federal Police Service and created a parallel State Police Service in each state; notes the electronic vote system failed and the chamber switched to a manual roll-call, and records that well over the required two-thirds of senators voted in favour.
“The Senate passed the State Police Bill, renaming the federal force and creating a constitutional basis for state-level policing for the first time in Nigeria's history.”
