The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has mandated all commands of the Nigeria Police Force to implement a comprehensive action plan aimed at reducing crime rates by 50% in 2025.
He gave this charge on Monday at the opening of the 5th edition of the Annual Conference and Retreat for Senior Police Officers (CARSPO) in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
IGP Egbetokun noted that the theme of the event, which is ‘Improving Nigeria’s Internal Security and Economic Prosperity Through Inclusive Policing’, is in line with President Bola Tinubu’s security vision and underscores the determination of the NPF to cultivate a police force that is professionally competent, intelligence driven and equipped to confront emerging threats proactively.
According to him, the intensified operations and commitment to the cooperation with the military and other security agencies in the fight against banditry, kidnapping and other organized crimes are yielding significant results.
