IGP Adamu Storms Lagos Today As Police Continue To Stay Away From Roads
The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu, will on Tuesday visit Lagos for an on-the-spot assessment of police formations attacked by hoodlums who hijacked the #EndSARS protests.
The visit would also stand as a moral booster to the demoralized personnel as a result of wanton destruction and looting of police stations .
Top on his reason for visiting the city after the #EndSARS protest, according to sources is to boost the morale of officers and encourage them to put all that happened behind and move forward.
He may also use the opportunity to unbundle future plans to reposition the police system.
The IGP had ordered the immediate mobilization of all police operational assets and resources to bring an end to the wanton violence, killings, looting and destruction of public and private property, and reclaim the public space from criminal elements masquerading as protesters in some parts of the country.
The IGP gave the order to all Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs), Commissioners of Police (CPs), Heads of Police Operational Units, Squadron and Base Commanders in charge of Zonal/State/FCT Commands, the Police Mobile Force, Counter Terrorism Unit and the Special Protection Unit, a few days ago.
In addition, CPs/Heads of Police Formations in the various states were also charged to mobilize their men and work in sync with the Command CPs in the areas where they are domiciled, to dominate the public space and ensure peace and safety in the affected areas.
He had urged law-abiding citizens not to panic but rather join forces with the police and other members of the law enforcement community to protect their communities from the criminal elements.
