Unveiling the guidelines at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, the IGP noted with concern the increase in reported cases of domestic violence, rape, defilement, cybercrimes among other linked with the COVID-19 restrictions.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu, on Monday unveiled operational guidelines for the police and other law enforcement agencies on COVID-19 prevention enforcement duties.
Assistant Inspectors-General of Police and Commissioners of Police in Zonal and State Commands as well as Heads of Police Departments/Formations were directed by the IGP to make the guidelines subject of departmental briefings and lectures. The Operational Guidelines will also serve as a training manual in all Police training institutions.
Executive Director of CLEEN Foundation, Benson Olugbuo, said it was necessary to work in collaboration with the Nigerian Police Force and other partners including the United Kingdom High Commission to develop the guidelines to ensure that security agencies who are deployed to enforce the lockdown and restriction of movement act within the provisions of the constitution and the provisions of the Police Act and other extant regulations.
