The Acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Usman Baba, has stated that there is a critical security situation in the Southern region particularly the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones.
The acting IGP disclosed this on Friday in Abuja at the opening of a meeting with police strategic commanders in the zones.
He said the meeting was aimed at discussing security issues affecting the two regions of the country in order to resolve them.
According to Baba, after the meeting, the commanders will go back to their zones to implement the outcome of the meeting.
The IGP said the challenges would require the force to change and improve its operational strategies to ensure that the issues were nip in the bud immediately.
“It is not like we do not have problems in other geopolitical zones of the country, but we have to address them one after the other.’’
He said calling a larger meeting of all Commissioners of Police and other senior officers would not be right at the moment because of COVID-19 protocols
