The Senate has officially passed constitutional amendments to establish state police in Nigeria.
On Wednesday, the legislators formally approved the bill.
Furthermore, before considering the state police bill, the senators opted to vote manually because the electronic voting device developed a technical fault.
The resolution came following concerns among senators over the possibility of some lawmakers losing their voting rights if the chamber used the faulty device.
In the manual voting, each lawmaker took a stand, announce their names and openly declare their positions on the proposed framework.
The Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele moved the motion for the adoption of manual voting.
