<p>“You must, most importantly, work on a structure to create a robust public safety mechanism and engender a secure nation,” Senator Barau said. “During public hearings of the Senate on amendments to the 1999 Constitution, Nigerians raised concerns and fears about the establishment of state police. We should create a system that allays their fears.”</p>
<p>One of the bills before the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution seeks to amend the Constitution to allow for the establishment of State and Community Police. The proposal aims to enhance local law enforcement capabilities and strengthen community engagement through a structured legal framework.</p>
<p>In a statement issued by Ismail Mudashir Special Adviser to the Deputy Senate President on media and publicity said to ensure inclusivity, Senator Barau’s committee conducted zonal public hearings across the six geopolitical zones of the country, providing stakeholders with the opportunity to contribute to the constitutional amendment process.</p>
