Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, announced this in an interactive session with a group of civil society organisations under the auspices of “The Situation Room’’ in Abuja.
He said
“We will withdraw all mobile police back to barracks to concentrate on dealing with serious law and order situation. “It means that we are stopping deployment of mobile police from protecting VIPs in the country because that is not where they should serve. “This is to allow us have enough men on the ground to deal especially with the issues of kidnapping. “We are creating new SPUs in each command; so, virtually all commands will have them, and with the support of the state governments, most of them would be deployed specially to states.’’
