STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
STATE POLICE CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK NEAR COMPLETION- PRESIDENCY
Significant progress has been made towards establishing state police, with a constitutional amendment expected soon, following months of consultations among the Executive, the National Assembly and security authorities.
The Chief of Staff to the President, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, disclosed this on Thursday while briefing State House Correspondents after a consultative meeting on state police convened by the Presidency, held at the State House, Abuja.
Gbajabiamila said deliberations on the proposed state police framework began several months ago following a directive by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that the process has gained considerable traction.
He explained that establishing state police requires careful consideration of constitutional and legal issues and cannot be implemented hastily.
"We started deliberations in the last three or four months on how to go about the establishment of state police as directed by Mr President.
"Establishing state police is not something that you do with the snap of the fingers. There is a lot involved in terms of constitution and legalities, and thank God we have now gained a lot of traction.
“Hopefully, the amendment will come shortly, and the details of the amendment will come after that," Gbajabiamila added.
According to him, discussions have now advanced to the point of considering the necessary constitutional amendments, with the enabling legislation to follow afterwards.
"Right now, what we are looking at is the constitutional amendment itself, and then the enabling law would follow thereafter. That is what we have been deliberating on in the last couple of hours," he added.
The Chief of Staff highlighted broad national support for the initiative, emphasising that the debate is no longer about whether state police should be establishedbut about creating the appropriate legal and institutional framework for its operation.
He said President Tinubu, who has consistently advocated for state police as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria's security architecture, would receive a comprehensive report on the meeting's outcome.
The meeting is part of a series of consultations convened by the Federal Government to develop a workable framework for the establishment of state police, an initiative aimed at strengthening internal security, improving local intelligence gathering and enhancing the capacity of sub-national governments to address emerging security challenges across the country.
President Tinubu has maintained in the last few months that state police is a necessary response to Nigeria's evolving security challenges, advocating that a decentralised policing structure would strengthen grassroots security, enhance intelligence gathering and improve the protection of lives and property across the country.
The meeting was attended by the Deputy President of the Senate, Jibrin Barau, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu and the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, among other senior government officials.

@Susiesignature@dammiedammie35 It’s not a crime to question citizens, especially when trying to incite the public against the state. Mind you the Justice Crack testimony abt how he was treated with respect to his rights. All these clout chasing needs to stop, nothing like harassment
@ChuksEricE Instead of you to use your platform to call people together to #UniteAgainstTerror , you’re alleging that a whole intelligence agency is asking for your number. Don’t incite people to carry out crimes, rather unite them to fight any form crime that is bedevelling us..
NIGERIAN ARMY AIRLIFTS 332 PERSONNEL ON WELFARE FLIGHT
The Nigerian Army has airlifted 332 military personnel into and out of the North-East Theatre of Operation HADIN KAI under its Welfare Flight Programme.
Conducted on 2 June 2026 via a chartered ValueJet aircraft, the flight transported 174 personnel into the theatre and 158 out. Since inception, the programme has moved a total of 33,097 troops.
The initiative allows soldiers on operational duty to periodically reunite with their families, reducing stress and boosting morale.
In addition, the Army has raised troops’ ALLOWANCES from ₦20,000 to ₦50,000 across all ranks (Private to Warrant Officer), in line with the Chief of Army Staff’s “Soldier First” policy aimed at enhancing welfare and operational effectiveness.
MY TAKE: Raising ALLOWANCES from 20k to 50,000 [ not Salary please make una no pick am as fake news say na 50k be Army salary]

The NDC as a political party made a huge mistake by allowing some of these characters into the party. The entitlement is astonishing.
His name is Nuru Aliyu Garwa, a former Senior Special Adviser on Community Development, pls note that, on Community Development to the Katsina State Governor.
He recently resigned in order to contest in the House of Assembly to represent his people.
On May 13th, an eight year old boy was abducted while coming home from a Quranic School, his family were contacted and a ransom of 50 million was requested by the bandits or kidnappers.
The price was negotiated and brought down to 17 Million which was paid. After this, the family reached out to a security outfit known as Violent Crime Response Unit in Katsina State.
The Unit swung into action and started their investigation. The investigation led to the arrest of 6 of the bandits on the 23rd of May.
This arrest of the six led to the arrest of the other member and boss, Nuru Aliyu Garwa, the former SSA on Community Development to the Governor on the 24th of May.
In his house they found 7.5 million in a Ghana must go bag which the Security Unit believed is his own share of the ransom, they also found the bike used in operations and some other items.
However, investigations still ongoing.
@sowore@OfficialDSSNG Shame on you. Always trying to drag one agency of govt or the other, is that part of your political strategy? Must be hard for you to see those agencies record meaningful achievements
@LeoDAreaScarter@SaharaReporters Exactly, the news report is highly speculative and misleading with anonymous sources and unverified casualties…SR should do better in investigating such crimes.
@Justice_Crack@OfficialDSSNG Reading this, it’s clear that professionalism isn’t just abt investigations but also abt how people are treated. Providing medical attention, decent accommodation & respectful engagement reflects d standards many would expect from a responsible & professional body. Kudos to DSS
@sowore@Justice_Crack@OfficialDSSNG Quick to claim the glory of hard working lawyers, you should know posterity is the final court where no propaganda survives…Oboy this one wants to be president of Zamunda??? When he fulfills bail condition the dss will release him…..
