IGP, British High Commission organise training on counter terrorism

Ibrahim Idris, the inspector-general of police (IGP) has charged officers in Zone 9 during a joint training workshop organised by the office of the Nigeria Police and British High Commission to use the opportunity to update their knowledge and skills.

Idris also said that the training was aimed at countering terrorism and other global incidences.
The IGP said this in Umuahia, Abia State capital while declaring open a five-day Police Incident Commanders’ workshop organised by the Nigeria Police in conjunction with the British High Commission held at the Police Officers Mess, Umuahia.
He noted that the importance of the training could not be overemphasised considering the present security threats facing the world.

The IGP, who was represented by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police AIG Zone 9, Hosea Hassan Karma, noted that the five-day training programme was aimed at updating participants on the global security incidence which according to him would enable officers and sister agencies to work in synergy to achieve the desired objective.

He further pointed out that the training workshop would always go a long way to equip officers to know what is expected of them at all times.

“Human existence lives side by side with the incident, it could be natural, sea or road whenever it occurs there are people to man the incident; everyone has a role to play, training is the bedrock of any organisation when properly trained, you know what to do at all times,” said the IGP.

In his remarks, the Chairman Police Relations Committee, PCRC, Zone 9, Collins Obi observed that the training programme organised by the Force Headquarters in conjunction with the British High Commission for Officers of ranks of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) was a welcomed development for the nation.
According to him, the IGP deserved commendation for attracting the British High Commission as well as choosing Abia State to kick start the programme.
