The Nigeria Police Force says it is moving to strengthen its counter-terrorism investigation capacity after a team of officers completed a specialised United Nations-backed training programme in Morocco.
The training programme is aimed at improving intelligence-led investigations and disrupting terrorist networks.
This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu.
The three-week Train-the-Trainer programme, held in Rabat from July 13 to 31, brought together law enforcement officers from Nigeria, Kenya and Burkina Faso. It was organised by the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) under its Global Counter-Terrorism Investigations Programme in collaboration with Al Akhawayn University.
According to the statement, a 10-member Nigerian delegation led by ACP Favour Fadawa of the Nigeria Police Academy participated in the programme, which focused on identifying terrorist networks, dismantling criminal organisations, preserving admissible evidence and conducting investigations in line with the rule of law.
