· As DIG leads team for scooping and assessment
The
Force Management Team has taken a step towards the restoration of civil
authority in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, some of the liberated areas in
the North East as it deployed the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in
charge of Department of Operations, DIG Sotonye Wakama, to move with a
team of intelligence officers to the area for need assessment and other
scooping activities.
Speaking
on Tuesday in Abuja, during an interactive session organised by the
Senate, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon Arase, fdc, NPM,
stated that the Police is carrying out a scooping mission aimed at
relieving the Military of some duties for law and order to be restored
in the part of the country.
The
IGP, while noting that guaranteeing the safety of persons and property,
and restoring public trust in the maintenance of order and stability
remain the cardinal keys in re-establishing a working society after
violent conflict. He further said the Nigeria Police Force will deploy
more personnel and equipment to the North East to provide Police
security and to create a secure environment necessary for the return of
IDPs to their respective communities.
He
reiterated that the Nigeria Police Force places a high value on the
preservation of human life and believed that the prevention of crime is
its number one operational priority and will therefore involve the
community in the delivery of these services. He added that Police
operational response will result to an improved quality of life for
citizens.
IGP
Arase, therefore, calls on all stakeholders, especially the press to
give maximum cooperation to Police officers and other law enforcement
agencies to ensure the restoration of civil authority and successful
integration of the people who were displaced by the activities of the
Boko Haram insurgency.
