As part of strategic measures lined up to contain the illegal movement of small arms and light weapons and other explosive materials, the Acting Inspector-General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba, has ordered immediate establishment of Tactical Operation Points (TOP) in select states of the North East and North West.
These points, which will be manned by Policemen who have received adequate training in tactical operation and counter-terrorism, will be established in various strategic locations, including highways in Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Bauchi, Gombe and Taraba states.
Consequently, the IGP has charged all Assistant Inspectors -General of Police (AIGs) in charge of the Zones covering the affected states and all Commissioners of Police in charge of these states to ensure close supervision and constant reskilling of the personnel performing this special operation.
He therefore calls on the general public,
particularly those in the North East and North West to cooperate with the
Police and see any inconvenience this operation may cause as a necessary sacrifice
for the greater safety of all.
