By Talatu Maiwada
The Inspector-General of Police (I-G), Mr Kayode Egbetokun, on Thursday, inaugurated an ultra-modern police headquarters in Adamawa.
Speaking at the event, Egbetokun said the project was to enhance service delivery, adding that it reflected the government’s commitment to the welfare of police officers.
“We now have a befitting headquarters worthy of our brave and dedicated officers.
“The newly commissioned complex is more than just a physical structure, it represents our commitment to serving and protecting our communities.
“It stands as a symbol of justice, dedication, and our resolve to improve service delivery in the state,” he said.
Egbetokun assured that his administration would continue working to equip officers with the necessary skills, knowledge, and logistics required for effective policing.
He appreciated stakeholders, partners, and community leaders for their support in ensuring the completion of the project.
Also speaking, the Commissioner of Police(CP), Adamawa Command, Dankombo Morris, lauded the I-G for prioritising the welfare of officers.
He noted that the project would help address the challenge of office accommodation in the command.
“This new police headquarters aligns with your vision for a better Nigeria Police Force, where every state command operates in a conducive environment.
“It will go a long way in boosting the morale of officers and enhancing the quality of service delivery to the community,” he said.
Morris disclosed that the command, which has 6,444 personnel, has been instrumental in ensuring the security and stability of the state.
He highlighted the command’s achievements this year, which he said included the apprehension of about 120 crime suspects and recording of 60 cases.
“The Command recorded about 60 cases, including kidnapping, armed robbery, culpable homicide, farmer-herder clashes, rape, and defilement.
“In addition, we arrested 120 suspects linked to these cases and rescued four kidnapped victims unharmed, with no ransom paid,” he said.
Morris attributed the command’s successes to the tireless efforts of officers, the support from Adamawa Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri, collaboration with sister security agencies, and contributions from stakeholders.
He, however, pointed out some challenges, which he said included addressing kidnapping in border areas due to difficult terrain, inadequate operational vehicles, dilapidated police barracks, and manpower shortages.
The CP appealed to the I-G to address these challenges in order to enhance the operational capabilities of the command.(NAN)
