The Senate has rejected a bill that would have established licensing standards for private investigators in Nigeria.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that the bill was introduced by Senator Osita Ngwu, a Minority Whip Senator Osita Ngwu (PDP Enugu West).

It aimed to create a framework for licensing and regulating private investigators in the country.

However, it was rejected by most lawmakers during its second reading in the legislative chamber.

The bill’s objectives included preventing and detecting fraud, managing corporate risks, and investigating insurance claims.

It also aimed to define the profession’s scope, establish standards, and promote industry-focused training.

Despite the rejection, Ngwu stressed the need for a system to ensure professional standards and conduct within the practice.

He believed that the role of private investigators is well-established in countries like the United (UK), the United States (US), Australia, and Canada.

Ngwu said:

It defines the profession‘s scope, establishes standards, imposes penalties for negligence, criminalises unlicensed operations, and promotes industry-focused training.”
