The National Police Council on Thursday confirmed the
appointment the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar reinforcing the
confidence of the country in his positive actions in repositioning the force
since he took over leadership
The Inspector General of Police spoke with newsmen at
State house, Abuja after being confirmed, giving assurances that he would
provide the right leadership that would ensure justice and fairplay through
effective management of security in the country.
Despite the security challenges in the country, there has
been a more professional approach to tackling the issue and Mr Abubakar is
promising more vigour, efficiency and effectiveness in police service and
performance now that he is in a stronger position to implement his ideas on
tackling insecurity
And speaking on the elections in Edo state on Saturday,
the Inspector General said men and material had been massively moved to Edo
State to give the required safety and security so that voters could come out to
cast their vote and discharge their service responsibility
He also gave reassurances that the Police would fight
bribery and corruption not only within its ranks but in the entire country in
light with its constitutional responsibility
Alluding to the investigation of bribery allegations
emanating from the House of Representatives, Mr Abubakar explained that it was
an ongoing case and successive progress had been made on it
The Inspector General of Police also gave insights into
why he opposed the introduction of State Police despite increased calls for it
in recent times due to the state of insecurity in the land
It was a recipe he said for confusion
The welfare of Officers
and men of the Nigeria Police remains a top priority for Mr Abubakar and he has
promised that he is working with President Jonathan and the Police Council to
address issues of welfare ranging from remuneration,
barracks and office
accommodation, transportation to mention a few
