Rising Crime: IGP Deploys 54 ACPs to Lead Force Intelligence Departments

In response to the escalating rates of kidnapping and banditry, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Olukayode Egbetokun has directed the posting of 54 Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs) to head the Force Intelligence Departments at zonal and state command levels across the country.

This move follows a surge in criminal activities, particularly in Abuja and Kaduna State.

The decision aims to bolster the intelligence capabilities of the Nigeria Police Force, with a focus on addressing the prevalent crime wave. The recent data revealed that in 2022, there were 194 reported attacks, resulting in 69 fatalities and 152 abductions in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
