Ahead the forthcoming general election and increasing attacks from the Boko Haram, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba, has ordered the Zonal Assistant
Inspectors General of Police and Commissioners of Police at State Commands to
take stern measures at securing arms and ammunition on hold to the Police at
various departments and stations.
This
becomes imperative in a bid to ward off any likely or possible attempt by
hoodlums or men of the underworld to attack Police stations and other
installations.
It would
be recalled that the IGP had earlier directed audit on Police Armouries
nationwide with a view to securing the Police arms and ammunition and in tandem
with the mission of the IGP to provide safety and security in Nigerian
communities and controlling social order.
The IGP,
in addition, directed all Commissioners of Police at State Commands to beef up
security at banks within their jurisdictions and further collaborate with bank
authorities and officials to secure their premises.
He further
enjoins the members of the public to remain steadfast in collaborating with
officers and men of Nigeria Police Force to stamp out crimes, as the Police is
determined to make the nation safe and secure for Nigerians and Foreigners to
go about their normal businesses.
