Police strategise to end terrorism, attacks on officers

Police have been devising strategies to end terrorism, kidnapping, communal clashes and attacks on officers, the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, said on Thursday.

Speaking to senior officers at Force Headquarters, Abuja on Thursday, Abubakar said emphasis was being placed on combat readiness and intelligence-gathering in checking growing insecurity in the country.

The IG, who decried constant attacks on policemen in parts of the country, expressed his shock on the killing of a retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Abubakar Saleh, and his orderlies in Kano by gunmen on Tuesday.

He directed senior officers to strengthen the force’s community policing strategies to ensure the success of all security measures being put in place.
