The Ogun State House of Assembly has passed a resolution supporting the establishment of State Police Services. The vote records the assembly's backing for a police service controlled at state level. Its stated purpose is to improve security in Ogun and strengthen the response to crime. The proposed service would be responsible for policing within the state's territory. No start date has been set, and the announcement does not detail the resources needed to operate it. Before the service can begin, lawmakers will have to settle its legal status and day-to-day command.
