Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris yesterday called on the federal government to make the recruitment of 10, 000 police personnel which is currently going on nationwide, a yearly exercise to enable the country meet the minimum United Nations stipulation of one policeman to 400 persons.

The IGP made the disclosure in Kaduna just as Governor Nasir El-Rufai condoled with the IGP on the loss of some Police officers in the recent crisis in Godogodo, Jama’a LGA of the State.

Idris who was speaking during a working visit to Kaduna State, noted that the current strength of Police personnel run short of United Nations recommendations of a Police officer to four hundred citizens even as he assured the Governor that the Nigeria Police will continue to discharge its statutory responsibilities in accordance to rule of law and international best practices.
