Nigerian Police Officers Must Embrace Professionalism – IGP

The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba has come out to charge officers to always be professional.

He recently revealed this while addressing officers and men of the Kano State Police Command at the headquarters in Bompai, Kano, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Kano is one of the strategic commands in the country given its high population and commercial activities, and he expects officers in the region to obey human rights and shun all forms of abuse of the law.

He added that the Nigeria Police under his stewardship will keep working tirelessly to ensure that all needed working materials and ammunitions are provided to police formations nationwide to keep securing life and property.

His words, ”I’m using this avenue to call on Divisional Police Officers to organise lectures and training regularly for officers and men working under their formations, which would boost their morale and dedication.”

”We are working towards ensuring that all rank and file personnel of the Nigerian police are being supplied with uniforms free of charge, but you should take note that you have to make sacrifices to improve your job and improve yourself.”

“We have made steady progress since my assumption as the Commissioner of Police in Kano. We’ve at various times arrested Boko Haram suspects, kidnappers, thugs (popularly known as ‘yan daba) in different parts of the state.”
