Senate Turns Down Bill on Private Investigators
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Senate had on Wednesday refused a bill for an act to establish a licence for operation and practice of private investigations in the country.

The piece of legislation, sponsored by Senator Osita Ngwu (PDP, Enugu West) was shunned by the majority of lawmakers during a debate on the floor of the Red Chamber.

Previously in his lead debate, Senator Ngwu, the Senate Minority Whip, remarked that the bill was seeking (amongst other things) to provide a framework for the licensing and practice of private investigators in the country.

Sen. Ngwu also added that the bill was also looking to establish a system of regulation, control and conduct of the practice so as to uphold professional standards.

According to Ngwu, the practice and business of private investigators was well established in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and Canada.

He also noted that while some private investigators were former law enforcement agents, others still were former military and intelligence personnel.

But, while debating on the bill, the Senate Deputy Minority Leader, Senator Olalere Oyewumi, and Senator Victor Umeh expressed their support for the bill, while others like senators Adams Oshiomhole, Iya Abbas, and Mustapha Saliu kicked against it, tagging it a recipe for personal vendetta.

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, who tilted in favour of the latter senators who were against the bill called on the sponsors to withdraw it for further legislative inputs.
