That figure clears the two-thirds threshold among the country's 36 states that the amendment needed to proceed. The vote count means the reform has passed one of the biggest procedural hurdles in the constitutional process. Support for state-level policing has grown out of frustration over insecurity and the strain on federal forces stretched across the country. Advocates argue that locally recruited officers know the terrain and can respond faster to threats in their areas. Critics counter that state governments might abuse such forces for political ends, a concern that has shadowed the debate for years. Further steps in the amendment process remain before states can actually establish their own police commands. The panel's announcement is the clearest sign yet that the change has momentum behind it.","category":"politics","id":788524,"image_url":"https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2023/08/Femi-Gbajabiamila.jpg?fit=1200%2C670\u0026ssl=1","lang":"en","link":"https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/919749-state-police-24-states-approve-constitutional-amendment-presidential-panel.html","published_at":"2026-10-23T22:33:49Z","source":"premiumtimesng.com","summary":"The approval meets the constitutional threshold of two-thirds of the 36 states required for the amendment to proceed.

Now a Nigerian minister has stated that the case identified in Nigeria is highly similar to the infection documented in Kenya. The comparison raises the possibility that the two outbreaks share a common source, though officials have not explained the link in detail. Bundibugyo is one of the less lethal species of the Ebola virus, historically associated with outbreaks that claim fewer lives than the Zaire strain. Laboratories are expected to compare samples from both countries to establish whether the same virus lineage is at play. Questions still remain about how the Nigerian patient was infected and where the person had travelled before falling ill. Health teams in both countries are tracing contacts and monitoring anyone who may have been exposed. More details are likely once sequencing results and epidemiological findings are published.","category":"politics","id":788540,"image_url":"https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2026/03/Professor-Muhammad-Ali-Pate-copy.jpg?fit=1024%2C728\u0026ssl=1","lang":"en","link":"https://www.premiumtimesng.com/health/health-news/919752-ebola-nigeria-case-highly-similar-to-kenya-infection-minister.html","published_at":"2026-10-23T22:32:44Z","source":"premiumtimesng.com","summary":"Kenya has so far recorded nine confirmed Ebola cases caused by Bundibugyo virus, including one death.
