The IGP has also charged the MOPOL commanders to work with the military and the various security organisations in the state to curb the wave of violence ravaging the state and other parts of the country.

The Inspector General said the police has intensive operations against kidnappers, bandits, armed robbery and other violent crimes in the country.

The IGP gave the charge at a meeting with the Strategic Commanders of the Force (Police Mobile Force, Special Protection Unit and Counter-Terrorism Unit Commanders) currently taking place at the Force headquarters in Abuja.
