The Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, has met with the squadron commanders of the Police Mobile Force across the country to strategise on the forthcoming elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States.
Addressing journalists in his office, Mr. Arase said the meeting was, among other things, aimed at assessing the “strategic and operational issues associated with the forthcoming elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States”.
Mr. Arase also said the meeting was held to review the operations of the Police Mobile Force in the face of present security challenges facing the nation.
The inspector-general informed the squadron commanders the country was counting on their strength, commitment and loyalty as the elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states draw closer.
“While the force management deploys credible officers to the affected states, our resolve and competence will once again be tested in this onerous assignment,” he said.
Mr. Arase further told the commanders that the reason for the parley, aside analyzing operational trends of the squadrons, was to brainstorm and fashion out a robust template that would ensure the elections were “free, fair and creditably transparent”.
He also disclosed the police were mapping out ways to deploy men to liberated areas in the North-East, saying logistics and men deployed would be enough and competent.
