Community Policing: IG Meets S’East Govs, Today

To conclude its nationwide sensitisation, consultation and mobilisation processes towards the community policing policy, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohuammed Adamu is expected to meet South-East Governors in Enugu, the Enugu State capital, today.
Police Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, told newsmen in an interview that the security summit was designed to mobilise the key stakeholders and partners on what the community policing policy was all about.
Mba said the summit would not only serve as an avenue to get feedback from stakeholders but also platforms for opportunities available through the political stakeholders and persons of interest in each geo-political zone to raise their issues and questions of concern on the implementation of the process.
It will be recalled that similar summits were held in the South-South geopolitical zone in Delta State, North-West zone in Katsina State, North-East in Borno State, North-Central in Nasarawa State , South-West in Oyo State and to be concluded with the South-East in Enugu.
Meanwhile, a cross section of Nigerians in their separate reactions to The Tide expressed worry over the non-resultant effect of these summits as well as other efforts by the government as insecurity is on its increase across the nation.
According to them, with the summits on-going, there should be reduction in the level of crime especially of kidnapping and violence but the reverse has been the case.
They urged the Nigerian Police Force and government at all levels to match actions with words for the summits to yield its expected results.
