The Nigerian Senate has passed a significant constitutional amendment bill that establishes state police across all 36 states of the federation, marking a major change in the country's security framework. This decision was made during a pivotal session that is expected to reshape the geopolitical and security landscape of Nigeria.

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has dismissed claims made in a viral video that purportedly shows a police officer engaging with armed bandits in Katsina State. The police described the narrative as false and misleading, emphasizing their ongoing collaboration with local security volunteers. The statement was issued by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO).

The Nigeria Police Force has refuted claims that its operatives permitted armed bandits to pass through a checkpoint without challenge, stating that the individuals in the viral video are vigilantes, not bandits. The police emphasized the importance of accurate reporting regarding security matters.
