Inspector-General of Police Mohammed Adamu on Monday said the Police can’t be everywhere, at the same time.

Adamu stated this in Gombe during the state inauguration of the Community Policing Advisory Committee, which will be co-chaired by the Emir of Gombe, Sheu Abubakar, and the state Police Commissioner, Maikudi Sheu.

The IGP, who was represented by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, in charge of Zone 3, Haliru Gwandu, said there was no better time than now for community policing to commence.

He said, “I consider this timely and very crucial. The Nigeria Police Force has continued to emphasise that while the police cannot be everywhere, our communities are found everywhere. Consequently, safety and security will be better guaranteed when and where members of the communities are actively involved in crime prevention and community safety.

“Since the formal introduction of community policing approach in 2004, NPF has made community policing the cardinal focus of efficient service delivery.”

He added that the emerging crime trend warranted the community policing strategy which, according to him, is citizen-centered.

On his part, Gombe State Governor, Inuwa Yahaya, said security is highly imperative noting that without it, anarchy will set in.

“The provision of security is the number one priority of each government because when there is security, you can guarantee that lives will be protected and businesses will be sustained. We remain focused as far as security is concerned,” Yahaya said.

We all know. That's why I consider anybody still comfortable with our present unitary system nice as lacking intelligence.

Nigeria is a population of more than 200million people with leaders of poor quality. And the masses in serious mal behavior. What we need is to devolve power to regions.

I still remember Obasanjo calling South Eastern governors treasonable felonies for calling for a co Federal system of government. Unfortunately history has proven they were right after all. Also I remember Johnathan telling a journalist during interview that Nigeria is just so big and that Boko Haram were attacking soft targets.

When you pause and reason all together you will know why your country cannot be better. Even the army and the police sometimes support law break down just for the budget. I really pity all those making noise about how Nigeria will one day become paradise.

Just listen people, expect for a drastic action like break up or regionalism, those hoping for a positive change are in for a long thing.

That's the reason why advanced countries deploy Security cameras and develop intelligence everywhere....

The more reason they profile everyone early.

Day169:
Well, I consider his utterance as an irresponsible and insensitive statement to make at a time of widespread killings, and banditry especially up north.
Gone are the days when our leaders had a way of allaying the people's fears despite their ineptitude.

ogododo:
Even the utterances of those leading show how much dem hate us. A big man for Warri get like 4 mopols, now multiply am with hundred bigmen

bakynes:

That is the problem with the Nigerian Police hierarchy after collecting money from the big men and policticians.You deploy thousands of Police Men to Big Men and Top Politicians houses out of just about 150,000 Police Men and Women we have in the entire country which is far below enough in the first place. So how many is left to secure the lives and properties of the ordinary citizens.Why can't these Politician hire Private security firm to provide Body guards for them.

Fasindo:











Do we even have police in Nigeria?


Police can't be everywhere but they can be everywhere in Maitama, Asokoro nd everywhere were VIPs live.
