In a significant development, the Ondo State House of Assembly has passed a bill for the establishment of a state police force, according to Premium Times Nigeria. The bill was passed on Monday during a plenary presided over by the Speaker, Olamide Oladiji, following an elaborate deliberation. This move is part of the ongoing constitutional amendment process in the country, aimed at devolving more powers to the states, including the establishment of state police forces. While the passage of the bill is a step towards enhancing the security situation in the state, it remains to be seen when the bill will be assented to by the governor and when the new police force will begin operations. This move is being closely watched by other states and stakeholders in the ongoing constitutional amendment process.
