Former Governor Celestine Omehia has cautioned Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the National Assembly against rushing the passage of the State Police Bill into law.
The government, however, said that the FCT minister will be empowered under the bill to provide logistical support to the soon-to-be federal police.
“The decentralisation of policing is long overdue. A state police structure will enable a faster response to security threats,” said Mr Egoh.
Mr Moore has been a thorn in the flesh of the Tinubu government, accusing it of failing to address the killing of Christians in Nigeria.
He said the National Assembly was responding to widespread calls by Nigerians for state police.
