FG to recruit 10,000 new Police Officers and set JTF?

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari yesterday disclosed that the Federal Government would recruit additional 10,000 police men and establish an anti-terrorism multi-agency Joint Task Force (JTF). It would also ensure the installation of close circuit monitoring cameras in major cities of the country.

On his part, the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase has called for the resuscitation of a proposed bill and a legal instrument that would compel corporate organisations and institutions in the country to remit funds to a Police Trust Fund. Buhari and Arase spoke yesterday in Abuja at a national summit on security.

It was organised by the Nigeria Police in collaboration with the Sun publishing company, with the theme “Community Partnership Approach to Internal security and Crime Management.”
