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 State Houses of Assembly for consideration and approval.
On June 24, the National Assembly passed the constitutional amendment Bill seeking to provide for the establishment of State Police.
The Majority Leader of the Assembly, Mr Babajide Kofoworola, moved the motion for the resolution and passage of the proposed State Police amendment, and Mr Tajudeen Adeyemi, representing Ifelodun State Constituency, seconded it.
The Speaker of the Assembly, Mr Adewale Egbedun, directed that the Assembly forward the resolution and amendments it approved 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.
