The inspector-general of police Usman Baba, has asked commissioners of police and other strategic police managers to strengthen their capacity to deal with crimes.
Baba gave the charge at a meeting with police managers, including commissioners of police, in Abuja.
The IGP said the meeting was to evaluate the activities of the force in 2021 and identify gaps that militated against service delivery to the citizens.
Baba said 2021 was a challenging year for the police with potent threats to internal security by the activities of bandits, secessionists, kidnappers and other organised criminal elements.
