Nigeria's House of Representatives withdrew its earlier approval of a constitutional amendment bill aiming to establish state police across Nigeria's 36 states and approved in second reading a separate executive bill from Nigerian President Bola Tinubu with similar objectives, Premium Times reported on July 14. While the details of the executive bill have not yet been made public, House of Representatives speaker Tajudeen Abbas said the new bill would be "more robust and comprehensive" than its predecessor, increase accountability and impose stricter conditions for states to establish their own police services.
