The Osun State House of Assembly unanimously approves a proposed constitutional amendment to enable the creation of state police in Nigeria. Lawmakers support the amendment after deliberating on the proposal during a plenary session in Osogbo on Tuesday.

The bill is tied to an ongoing process initiated at the national level. Multiple outlets report that the National Assembly has written to state legislatures, transmitting the proposal for consideration. The Osun Speaker, Adewale Egbedun, says the matter is a request forwarded to the state for debate and voting.

While the accounts focus on the same outcome—unanimous approval—the phrasing varies slightly. One outlet describes the Assembly “backs” the amendment, while another emphasizes that the legislature “approves” it after debate. All sources frame the action as a procedural step in constitutional amendment procedures and connect it directly to plans for establishing State Police Services.
