Addressing a press conference Tuesday in Abuja, the national coordinator of the group, Nasir Galadanchi, urged the Inspector General of Police to ensure the Special Constable are well committed to their assigned responsibilities to serve as a motivation to other states of the federation.


“We applaud the wisdom and good conscience displayed by the Inspector General of Police so far on the entrenchment of Community Policing as a simple solution to fortify security operations across the country. 


“The Community Policing has already gained the required traction as exemplified by the Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nazir El-Rufai who already showed great commitment to the commencement of Community Policing in Kaduna State in line with the federal government Community Policing Initiative. 


“The Kaduna State Government has walked the talk already by training of 272 successful Special Constables to commence the initiative in Kaduna State. Also the Governors of Sokoto and Kebbi States have followed in the good example of Governor Nazir El-Rufai, which is highly commendable. 


“We urge the Inspector General of Police to ensure the Special Constables are well committed to their assigned responsibilities to serve as motivation to other States of the Federation, to key into this progressive development.”

The group also called on Nigerians to also support and cooperate with the govemment and its agencies, particularly security agencies at all times. 


“The war against insecurity is a collective responsibility. With all sense of modesty, our organization is very conscious of the place of appreciation in the concept of boosting the morale of Security Operatives. Appreciating the courage and bravery of the officers on battle fronts, fighting for the safeties of harmless Nigen’ans will encourage them to do more. 


“In recognition of this singular fact, we are using this medium to applaud the exceptional feats recorded by all Galant Police Officers that confronted the bandits recently in Kaduna and Katsina States, the success of the operation has proved that the Nigeria Police Force under the leadership of the Inspector General of Police IGP Mohammed Abubakar Adamu is leaving no stone untumed in keeping our societies safe for all law-abiding citizens.”
