Nigeria's major police reform edges forward after senate approval

Nigeria's Senate has given the green light to a significant police reform bill that would allow states to establish their own police forces. This move comes after a recent mass school abduction in the southwest, reigniting concerns about the country's ability to handle its numerous conflicts. While this reform aims to decentralize control, experts caution that it might empower already powerful state governors, potentially exacerbating Nigeria's entrenched political violence. The implications of this reform could shape the nation's security landscape in the coming years.
