Nigeria’s parliament says it is drafting a decentralised policing framework designed to curb political abuse and strengthen accountability.
The Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, said the National Assembly has begun work on a state police model aimed at reshaping the country’s security architecture.
Bamidele said the proposed framework would introduce robust safeguards to prevent misuse of policing powers by political actors, a long-standing concern in debates over state-controlled security forces.
The move comes amid growing calls for a decentralised approach to policing as authorities seek solutions to persistent security challenges across the country.
