Rejig security architecture in South East, South-South, IGP orders Police Strategic Commanders

The Acting Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered Police Strategic Commanders in South East, South-South regions of the country to “rejig” their security architecture to put a stop to the burgeoning violence and insecurity in the zones.

IGP Baba met with the Police Strategic Commanders, Zonal Assistant Inspectors General of Police, Commissioners of Police and Deputy Commissioners of Police (Operations) in the two regions at Force Headquarters, Abuja on Friday as “part of efforts by the new Police leadership to critically diagnose the security threats in the region and evolve new policing strategies and responses towards tackling the threats.”

According to a statement by Force Spokesperson, Commissioner of Police Frank Mba, “while noting that the South-East and South-South geo-political zones of the country are very critical in the socio-economic stability and growth of Nigeria, says no intelligence, operational and administrative efforts should be spared in ensuring that the security challenges in the zones are surmounted.

“He therefore gave marching order to the Strategic Commanders to rejig the security architecture in their Areas of Responsibility (AORs) and work with relevant stakeholders in restoring law and order.

“The IGP further directed the Command Commissioners of Police and their supervisory Zonal Assistant Inspectors-General of Police to return to their AORs and implement resolutions reached, especially on intelligence-led and community-driven operational strategies, to ensure security of lives and property in the region.  

“The IGP called for the support of citizens, noting that the operational strategies shall be within the framework of citizens’ consent, trust and the rule of law.”
