The Deputy Inspector-General of Police, DIG, in charge of Training and Development and Coordinating DIG for the North-Central Geo-Political Zone, Isyaku Mohammed, has reiterated the commitment of the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, to reducing crime and enhancing public safety across the country, with particular focus on Nasarawa State.
The DIG made the declaration during an official inspection visit to the Nasarawa State Police Command, where he met with key stakeholders, including heads of security agencies, traditional and religious leaders, transport union representatives, members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, the Inter-Party Advisory Council, IPAC, the Police Community Relations Committee, PCRC, officers of the command, and members of the public.
Addressing the gathering, Mohammed conveyed the assurances of the Inspector-General of Police regarding the Nigeria Police Force’s determination to tackle crime, strengthen public confidence, and promote a safer society.
He stressed the importance of collaboration between the police and community stakeholders, noting that sustainable security can only be achieved through collective efforts.
According to him, “effective policing must be rooted at the grassroots level,” adding that officers should take the fight directly to criminal elements through proactive policing, intelligence-led operations, and enhanced visibility policing aimed at denying criminals the opportunity to operate.
The DIG also directed officers to intensify enforcement against unregistered vehicles, vehicles with defaced or obscured number plates, and those displaying manufacturer logos instead of approved registration numbers. He, however, urged personnel to carry out their duties professionally and without extortion,
