Enjoins participants to use the
opportunity to learn more and become better officers of the Force.
In furtherance of the Nigeria Police Force efforts at
addressing the current security challenges in the country, the Inspector-General
of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase, on Monday, February 1st, 2016 declared open
at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, a counter-kidnap seminar organised by the British
High Commission, with the trainers drawn from United Kingdom Anti-kidnapping
Agency and the Swiss Crisis Management Unit.
Speaking at the occasion, the IGP stated that the
training programme was being organised to boost the capabilities of the Nigeria
Police particularly now that the country is battling the menace of kidnapping
across the country.
The IGP, while restating his commitment to continue to
drive reforms and strategic transformation of the Force in order to reposition
for efficiency and effectiveness in its service delivery, advised against
payment of ransom to kidnappers by victims’ families.
The facilitators led by John Branney of the National
Crime Agency - UK and Matthias Herter of Swiss Crisis Management Unit promised
to deliver the training using United Nation’s kidnap manual which is used in
Europe and other parts of the world, adding that the workshop will benefit the
Nigeria Police Force tremendously.
The workshop which commenced on Monday will last for
five days.
