Details of IG of Police meeting with South-west governors
The Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu, says 1,154 suspected kidnappers were arrested across the country between January and August.
”In relation to recovery, 1,356 firearms of various caliber and descriptions were recovered in various intelligence-led operations by the Police, with 277 of such recoveries made in the Southwest. He, however, said there were isolated cases of kidnapping and armed robbery in the Southwest, particularly along Benin-Ore-Lagos highway and across Ondo state.
He therefore called on the security stakeholders in the zone to support the Police in strengthening and advancing in the interest of communal and internal security. ”Hence we must as a strategy, strengthen partnership among ourselves as a community on the one hand and between the communities and the Police on the other hand.
He stressed that police legitimacy draws from public consent and trust, saying that lack of effective partnership between the police and the public could only sustain ineffective policing and engender insecurity. Reading the communique at the end of the summit, the host governor, Mr Seyi Makinde of Oyo state, said that the IGP has approved the deployment of special forces to be commanded by a Commissioner of Police.
”The Oodua Peoples Congress has equally agreed to partner with the Police in fighting crime to bring it to the lowest ebb.
