The hope of having state authorities has actually been dashed by the House of Representatives Committee on Constitution Amendment.

The committee on Wednesday, during the hearing on the constitution modification bill, turned down the state police bill and in principle killed it.

It would be remembered that President Muhammadu Buhari had actually stated he is against the facility of state authorities during an interview with Channels TV.

It would also be remembered that Luke Onofiok from Akwa-Ibom sponsored the costs to eliminate police from the unique legislative list to concurrent list.

The costs looked for to allow states to develop their cops systems while the Federal Government can keep the federal cops.

Speaking against the bill, Mohammed Wudil said state guvs can release the police against the opposition.

The Chairman of the Committee, Deputy Speaker Idris Wase, said the costs has actually already been defeated in the Senate, hence a waste of time disputing it. However he permitted members to vote on the expense.

Fourteen members rejected the costs, while 11 members enacted assistance.
