A call has gone out to police officers in the country to brace up for a challenging time ahead in the coming year.
Inspector General of Police Usman Alikali Baba, on Monday, urged strategic police managers in the Nigerian Police Force to brace up for the internal security challenges that the year 2022 will present.
The IGP emphasized that 2022 would likely be a challenging year as it is the year that precedes the 2023 general elections, saying that the force would experience threats from different political areas.
The IGP also started that the outgoing year was a very challenging one for the police force as it dealt with increased kidnap cases, theft, banditry, prison breaks and other organized crimes.
He further said that the police force would be faced with a huge task in 2022 as it would fight traditional crimes and political threats.
While appreciating the force members for their successes in the outgoing year, he, however, urged them to prepare and reinforce as the coming year will be faced with a lot of insecurity challenges.
Meanwhile, not less than 10 people were killed when individuals suspected to be bandits attacked Pinau town in Wase local government area of Plateau state. Others sustained injuries of varying degrees on Sunday evening.
The attack occurred shortly after villagers finished from the weekly community market where they had gone to buy and sell. Hamman Sale, a member of the community who confirmed the incident, revealed that the bandits were from Zamfara state.
The spokesperson of the Plateau state police command, Gabriel Ubah, who is an assistant Superintendent of Police, confirmed the incident.
The Nigeria Police headquarters in Abia state has been reportedly attacked by some yet to be identified gunmen operating in the state.
