Osun assembly endorses state police
The Osun House of Assembly on Tuesday passed a resolution supporting the establishment of state police to complement existing security agencies in combating insecurity in the state.
The resolution followed the National Assembly’s transmission of the proposed constitutional amendment to the State Houses of Assembly for consideration and approval.
The National Assembly passed the constitutional amendment bill seeking to establish state police on June 24.
The motion for the resolution and passage of the proposed state police amendment was moved by the majority leader of the assembly, Babajide Kofoworola, and seconded by Tajudeen Adeyemi, representing Ifelodun State Constituency.
The speaker of the assembly, Adewale Egbedun, directed that the resolution and amendments approved by the assembly be forwarded to the National Assembly for further consideration.
The assembly later dissolved into the Committee of the Whole to consider the Osun State Park Management System Bill, 2026.
The assembly considered corrections and amendments to the bill, and incorporated the agreed changes into the proposed legislation.
