  • IGP has deployed operatives of the Nigerian police to Kaduna over workers strike.

Acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Usman Baba on Monday ordered deployment of additional police operatives and crime prevention assets to ensure public safety and strengthen security along the Kaduna – Abuja expressway.

Baba gave the directive as a proactive measure to protect communities and travelers in anticipation of increased traffic on the Kaduna – Abuja expressway.

Covert operatives from the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) and the Special Tactical Squad (STS) were part of those deployed to prevent any untoward situation along the expressway.

The development, the IGP said is followed by the disruption of other means of transportation by industrial action in Kaduna State.

The IGP pointed out the deployment is designed to enhance police visibility, prevent and neutralise possible criminal activities targeted at citizens plying the road.

A statement on Monday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CP Frank Mba, said: “Consequently, the IGP has directed the Assistant Inspectors General of Police and Commissioners of Police in Zonal and State Commands with jurisdictions straddling Kaduna – Abuja Highway and its environs to ensure no new threat to lives and property thrive within their Area of Responsibility (AoR) as a result of the industrial action.

“Similarly, the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Force Intelligence Bureau has been directed to immediately deploy covert operatives from the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) and the Special Tactical Squad (STS) to prevent any untoward situation along the expressway.

“While assuring citizens that the Force will continue to do all within its powers to promote public safety, the IGP has called on citizens, particularly communities, transporters and commuters along Kaduna – Abuja expressway, to cooperate with security operatives deployed to their areas.

“Citizens are also enjoined to be vigilant and promptly report any suspicious movement or criminal activities in their localities to the Police”.
