NPF backs community policing in Edo
Poised to address security challenges in the state, the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has secured the backing of the Nigeria Police Force for its community policing scheme.
Governor Obaseki reassured that his administration remains committed to the protection of lives and property of ordinary citizens of the state, noting that there is no form of invasion of Edo State by armed bandits or any other militia group. The governor said the dwindling revenue at all levels of government means that the federal government will have less to fund the Federal Police, hence the need for the community policing.
The Inspector-General of Police , Mohammed Adamu represented by Deputy Inspector of General of Police, South-South, Anthony Ogbizi, described community policing as a re-invention of an old model where communities were considered frontline stakeholders in security of the society.
