The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has submitted a comprehensive framework for the establishment of state police to the National Assembly.
The document was presented to the Deputy President of the Senate, Barau I. Jibrin, on Thursday, who chairs the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution.
According to a statement by his media aide, Ismail Mudashir, the 75-page report was delivered on behalf of the IGP by Olu Ogunsakin, head of the police committee on state policing.
Titled “A Comprehensive Framework for the Establishment, Governance and Coordination of Federal and State Police,” the report outlines proposals for the structure and coordination of state police across the country.
Disu said, “The report covers the considered views, professional insights and strategic recommendations of the Force, derived from extensive consultations and a careful assessment of the operational, legal and administrative implications of instituting State Police in Nigeria.
“It is our expectation that the contents of this report will meaningfully contribute to ongoing deliberations and assist in shaping informed, balanced, and pragmatic decisions on this critical aspect of national security architecture.”
He added that the submission represents the Nigeria Police Force’s formal contribution to the national debate on decentralising policing.
In his response, Jibrin commended the initiative, noting that it aligns with the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s efforts to strengthen security.
He said the committee would consider the framework alongside other memoranda submitted as part of the ongoing constitutional amendment process.
