May 27, 2021
The acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Alkali Usman says the police has recorded successes against secessionist groups and criminals in the southeast, noting that prosecution to ensure justice is served has remained a major challenge because of the ongoing strike by judiciary workers.
The acting IGP stated this on Thursday at a presidential briefing organized by the Presidential Communications Team at the statehouse in Abuja.
Alkali also indicated that the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) created a vacuum which is challenging efforts by the Police in tackling insecurity in the country.
On the recruitment plan involving 10,000 new police personnel into the force, he disclosed that the process has reached nearly 70 per cent completion, assuring that the exercise would continue to employ the Federal Character principle.
