EndSARS: IGP Adamu Sends Crucial Message To Nigerians On Community Policing

 

- Nigerians have been urged by IGP Adamu to embrace the community policing system

 

Mohammed Adamu, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), has emphasised the need for Nigerians to embrace the community policing strategy in the country.

Channels TV reports that the police boss described community policing as the best strategy to combat crime in Nigeria.

According to him, traditional rulers and stakeholders have a role to play in ensuring the success of the community policing strategy.

 

Adamu stated that in a few weeks from now, youths would be recruited into the police force from ward levels to work with traditional rulers in a bid to secure every community in Nigeria.

 

The police chief, however, condemned the carnage and destruction occasioned by hoodlums who hid under the #EndSARS demonstration.

It was reported that Adamu said social media was awash with fake news which according to him triggered the violence.

The IGP made the statement in Lagos on Tuesday, November 3, a day after he attended the northern governors' forum meeting which came out with a communique for social media to be censored in Nigeria.
