Yay!!! Happy New Year to all our readers and
loved ones out there, what a great day to begin posting Bills summary that has
so far been introduced in the 8th Assembly.
At EOTM, we will
commence the posting of long title and explanatory notes of Bills as it appears
on the National Assembly Journal. You may request a copy of any Bill of
interest to you, as well as requesting us to scrutinize Bills of interest on this blog. At Eyes on the Mandate, we are committed
to bridging the information gap between the National Assembly and the Public.
Below is the long title and explanatory
note of a Bill sponsored by Hon. Joan O, Mrakpor.
LONG TITLE
A BILL FOR AN ACT TO ALTER SECTION 124 OF
THE POLICE ACT, CAP. P19 LAWS OF THE FEDERATION OF NIGERIA 2004 AND FOR MATTERS
CONNECTED THERETO, 2015
EXPLANATORY
MEMORANDUM
The Bill seeks to Alter Section 124 of the
Police Act Cap. P19 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 to provide for the
need for male Police Officers like their female counterparts seeking to get
married to apply for permission. This becomes necessary because of recent
upsurge in heinous crimes involving women like armed robbery, terrorism etc.
I wonder if police officers have the
slightest idea about this Bill.
Do you support this Bill?
