In a bid to restrategise for better security networking in Nigeria, authorities of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, have acquired 55 additional lorries, five water tankers, two coaster buses and 15 Armoured Personnel Carriers to aid strategic deployment of tactical squads to tackle Insecurity across the country, especially in the crisis affected areas.
In a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Inspector-General of Police, Alkali Baba, who has reiterated his commitment to continually provide necessary welfare and safer environment for police operatives at the forefront in crisis areas, immediately directed that the logistics and assets be made available for the ongoing serial operations being executed by the police at strategic locations in the country.
Similarly, IGP Baba has released adequate funds to upgrade the Police ICT platforms to the required status, capable of combating the present security issues and realities in Nigeria. This will go a long way in alleviating the operational challenges of police personnel on various tactical operations in Nigeria.
He equally directed the Police Airwing to step up its platforms and logistics to provide air support to the ground personnel whenever they are on operations in the six geo-political zones in Nigeria.

The Police Chief however appealed to the general pubic not to panic in view of the heavily armed Police tactical squads who have been deployed for various operations, as they have been warned to be professional, civil and to operate within the ambit of the law.
Baba also sought for maximum cooperation with the Police operatives in many areas especially information sharing, in order to make the operations successful.
The IGP restated his zeal to fight criminal elements who are bent on neutralising and truncating the security system, peace and harmony we deserve in this country.
