AIGs to coordinate
the process
The IGP, while reiterating that the move is to
address specifically the misinformation, anxiety and animosity being generated
in relation to the current security challenges associated with local
communities and herdsmen, directed that the proposed meetings should be held at
State and Area Commands as well as at Divisional levels, to enhance the process
of reassurance policing and need for peaceful coexistence and sensitivity of
each community’s value, space and interest.
The Forum, which will be utilised as a veritable
platform for dialogue between all parties within the community, would have
participants drawn from all strategic security Stakeholders which include
traditional rulers, community leaders, public officials, religious actors,
youths bodies, local vigilante groups, women/market associations, Police
Community Relations Committee, other sister security agencies, professional
bodies, media, State and non-State actors, among others.
Consequently, the IGP has directed all Assistant
Inspectors-General of Police in charge Zonal Commands (AIGs) to personally
oversee the process, as it affects Commands under their Area Of Responsibility
and to ensure urgent compliance.
While urging the citizen to put their
differences aside and courageously continue to support the Police in the face
of current security challenges confronting the country, the IGP reassured the
public of the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to the safety and security of
all Nigerians anywhere in any part of the country.
