The Nigerian Senate has pushed for the change of name from the Nigerians Police Force to simply the Nigerian Police.

On Wednesday, July 26, 87 senators voted YES to support the bill while 2 senators voted NO and 1 abstained.

The Nigerian Senate has also voted to alter the constitution to allow independent candidates contest elections in the country and to change the name of the Nigeria Police Force.

As an independent candidate, an individual will be able to contest in an election without belonging to any political party.
