The Senate, during plenary on Wednesday, passed the Police Reform Bill 2019 following the report of the Senate Committee on Police Affairs.
The report was presented by Senator Tijjanj Kaura.
Senator Gbenga Ashafa asked the lawmakers concerning the bill: “Do they have enough for logistics? Do they have running funds to take care of fuel or even stationaries? We need to focus on the Police Trust Fund as an Intervention.”
Senate President Bukola Saraki had earlier described the bill that would provide guide on how the police will be reformed.
“Since the formulation in 1943, the original bill has not undergone a review. We still know where we should go ideally but until we get there, let us address how we should reform the police,” Saraki said.
