STATE POLICE: 28 State Assemblies Approve Constitutional Amendment, Clear Two-Thirds Hurdle

The proposed constitutional amendment to establish State Police Services in Nigeria has reportedly secured approval from 28 State Houses of Assembly, exceeding the two-thirds majority required under Section 9 of the 1999 Constitution.

The Clerk to the National Assembly, Kamoru Ogunlana, disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, confirming that his office had received and authenticated the Votes and Proceedings submitted by the 28 state legislatures.

The amendment bill was transmitted to all 36 state assemblies on September 16 for consideration.

Ogunlana said the required constitutional threshold of 24 states had been surpassed, describing the development as a major step towards the proposed decentralisation of policing in the country.

He clarified that the Constitution does not require a separate Third Reading after the necessary state approvals, adding that administrative arrangements were underway to transmit the authenticated amendment to President Bola Tinubu.

The proposed framework seeks to establish state-level police services alongside the federal police, although its eventual implementation will depend on the completion of the constitutional amendment process and necessary legal arrangements.

Adeboye: Viral Protest Photo Was From 2020 CAN Prayer Walk

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has dismissed social media claims that he protested against former President Goodluck Jonathan, clarifying that the viral photograph of him holding a placard was taken during a Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) prayer walk in February 2020.

Speaking at the church’s monthly Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Redemption City, Adeboye said the exercise was organised to pray against insecurity, five years after Jonathan left office in May 2015.

Adeboye explained that the prayer walk followed a directive from CAN for churches across the country to organise prayers against insecurity, stressing that it was not a political protest.

He also urged journalists and content creators to verify information before publication, warning against the spread of misleading narratives. The cleric said investigative journalism and fact-checking remain essential to responsible reporting.
