The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun has inaugurated a new ultramodern office of the Adamawa State Police Command headquarters.

A statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the commissioning of the building was held on Thursday during the IGP’s official tour of Adamawa Police Command.

Egbetokun also visited Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri and the Lamido of Adamawa, His Highness, Dr. Muhammad Barkindo Aliyu Mustapha.

Fintiri commended Egbetokun for his relentless efforts in safeguarding lives and property, noting the significant impact the Nigeria Police Force is making in maintaining peace and stability in the state and the nation at large.

The governor called for the establishment of an additional Counter-Terrorism Unit (CTU) Base and the reopening of the Police Training School in Mbaba, Yola South Local Government Area in the state.

He also emphasised that these measures would enhance the operational capacity of security agencies in tackling emerging security threats, particularly insurgency and banditry, which have posed serious challenges to the region.

Responding, ‘’IGP Egbetokun assured the governor and the good people of Adamawa State of the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to proactive policing, community partnership, and intelligence-driven security strategies, noting that the request for an additional CTU Base and the reopening of the Police Training School would be given due consideration in line with the strategic security and training framework of the Force,’’ the statement said.
