The House of Representatives has replaced its proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police, with the one transmitted by President Bola Tinubu.
The Reps took the decision at Tuesday’s plenary, where lawmakers gave the Executive-sponsored state police bill its first and second readings.
The lawmakers subsequently referred the bill to the House Committee on Constitutional Review for further legislative action.
With the replacement, the lawmakers would not focus attention to the Executive-backed amendment.
The Executive bill is expected to undergo detailed scrutiny at the committee stage, where lawmakers will examine its key provisions before it is returned to the floor for further consideration.
