Nigeria: 28 state assemblies back state police constitutional amendment

Nigeria's constitutional amendment enabling state police has cleared the required threshold of 28 state assembly approvals, moving the country toward decentralizing its policing system. The National Assembly (NASS) confirmed the count, but the amendment still requires final legislative action and presidential assent. This marks a significant shift in Nigeria's federal security architecture, though implementation details and opposition remain uncertain.
