Police Boss Charges Commanders on Citizen-friendly
Policing
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni has
charged Commanders of the seventy-nine (79) Police Mobile Force
(PMF) Squadrons spread across the nation to exhibit high-level
professionalism, neutrality and embrace a citizen-friendly approach
in policing the forthcoming Gubernatorial elections in Edo and Ondo
on 19th September and 10th October, 2020 respectively.
The IGP gave the charge during a conference with the commanders
held at the Force Headquarters, Abuja on 7th September, 2020.
The conference centred on the deployment of the PMF for the
elections and general review of the current internal security
threats in the country. It availed the Force leadership the
opportunity to further re-strategize on best approaches on
mitigating security threats particularly as contained in the
Election Security Threat Assessment Reports.
The IGP noted that the PMF which has remained at the forefront
of tactical operations in the country, is central to the
operational plans of the Force towards a successful election in the
two States.
The IGP, who observed that the elections are coming on the heels
of the just concluded PMF Commanders’ course held at Ende Hills,
Nasarawa State, charged the officers to take advantage of the new
insights and experiences drawn from the training to positively
impact their leadership roles in the elections and beyond.
Meanwhile, the IGP has assured the residents of Edo and Ondo
States of the full preparedness of the Nigeria Police Force in
conjunction with other security agencies and other critical
stakeholders in the elections, to ensure the success of the
forthcoming elections in the two States.
